Another automotive landmark gone.

I know there are a few Studebaker aficionados here and as you probably know, the last Studebakers produced were build in Hamilton Ontario Canada and ever since the last one rolled off the line 47 years ago, the old plant with it's faded but still legible sign has stood witness to what once was. I drove past there a while ago and noticed it was gone, earlier this summer, the old building had been demolished to make way for new development.

This is a fairly recent picture of the last operating Studebaker plant.

It is history that goes ... I wonder what's inside the building .. (had)

For much of those 47 years, it was home to Otis Elevators.
