May 7, 2010 ride in a 1940 Studebaker to the new Studebaker International South Bend headquarters (former Studebaker Aviation plant). Heading west on Chippewa Avenue and north to the Studebaker Business Center. Studebaker built military airplane engines and military trucks here beginning during World War II. After Studebaker quit production of trucks, the facility was occupied by the Kaiser Jeep Corporation for the continued production of military trucks until American Motors Corporation purchased the Jeep and truck operations from Kaiser Industries in 1970 which led to the formation of AM General in 1971 by AMC for it's government contracts. Military and USPS (mail delivery) Jeeps and Humvees were once produced here.
