About the Author:
George Hamlin is a technical writer who found an early interest in professional cars—both for the craftsmanship involved in making them and for what he calls the “magic” involved in putting a passenger car into one end of a factory and reaping something entirely different out the other end. Most professional cars in the Studebaker orbit involve such magic, from a variety of custom-body firms building on a Studebaker platform, though this book also includes the cars that retained the stock body.
George is a long-time member of several auto-history organizations, three of whose interests coincide in this work: The Studebaker Drivers Club, the Professional Car Society, and the Society of Automotive Historians. He has written articles for several auto-hobby magazines and is one of the authors of Packard: A History of the Motor Car and the Company (Automobile Quarterly Library Series, Princeton Publishing, 1978) among other books. His varied back-ground includes work in radio, television, engineering, technical manuals, lumber delivery, and legal assistance.
