Sadly these Rockne Roadster body types were favored by Hot Rod builders. There were five body types built to include a 7 passenger - 4 door convertible / touring car which none are known to exist. Available body types were the 2 door Roadster / deluxe Roadster the 2 door Coupe / deluxe Coupe the 2 door Sedan the 4 door Sedan and the 4 door Touring car. NOTE: “deluxe models” boasted a spare tire on each side of the car with a luggage rack to the rear of the car.

HERESOMEINFORMATION I FOUND ON GOOGLE : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knute_Rockne http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockne

In 1932 Studebaker launched the Rockne a new low-priced brand named for famed Notre Dame head coach Knute Rockne. However the new company was based not in South Bend home town for both Studebaker and Notre Dame but in the venerable Studebaker complex on Piquette Ave. in Detroit. An all-new design the car was originally created for Willys-Overland by a Detroit engineering firm as a replacement for the Whippet but Studebaker bought out the project when Willys declared bankruptcy.

Studebaker fared little better as the country spiraled into depression. Studebaker CEO Albert A. Erskine committed suicide on July 1 1933 while the Rockne division was disbanded that same year with barely 30000 units produced. A sound automobile by all accounts the Rockne suffered from unbelievably bad timing.

Studebaker Corporation or simply Studebaker was a United States wagon and automobile manufacturer based in South Bend Indiana. The Rockne car was a subsidiary of the Studebaker Motor Company and was built as Studebaker’s “affordable car” to help get Studebaker through the great depression of 1929. The Pierce Arrow line was Studebaker’s “high end car”.

Knute Rockne became the Studebaker spokesperson in 1930. Sadly; Knute Rockne was killed in an airplane accident in 1931 and the car's popularity rapidly diminished. The first Rockne car that came off the line in 1932 was presented to Mrs.Knute Rockne. The 1932 cars were labeled Rockne on the radiators cloisonné and on the tail lamp. ( see pictures ). The 1933 Rockne’s cloisonné and tail lamp were labeled Studebaker Rockne. The car was phased out in 1933 due to its poor sales

GOOD LUCK WITH BIDDING !!!
