Ah yes...the "back seat bedroom" - know it well...😈😈 those were the days...
I bought this "Tin Indian" in Aug of 1966. There was an ad in Hot Rod magazine that had a picture of a Sprint 6 Tempest and a GTO parked side by side with the caption "The toughest kid on the block now has a mean little brother." It was a "runner", very few cars with V8s, and no 6s could outrun it in 1/4 mile.
Good memories of what I believe we're better times, at least in SW Kansas.

How bout Studebaker, got their start building horse drawn wagons in the 1800s.

John Studebaker built wheelbarrows in Hangtown, California beginning in 1853. He had come to mine for gold but got $10 each for his wheelbarrows. His brothers had started the wagon business in Indiana to where John eventually returned. I knew of the wheelbarrows and always thought they had been the beginning of Studebaker. Thanks for the history lesson.

I had heard that wheelbarrows were used to teach the Irish to walk upright.

Didn't know that. Getting a good education today.
