Like other automobile compnies, the compsny cut back production as a result of the Depression. And there was the 1937-38 Roosevelt Recession. Then things began to change. As a result of World war II, Studebaker and other companies not only activated existing production lines, but opened new ones. They played an important role in World War II. Every Red Army soldier knew about Studebaker, ironically a German name, because so many Studebaker trucks were shipped to the Soviet Union under Lend Lease.
