1949 Studebaker Truck - Bomb At B-Ville

Norris Andersen's '49 Studebaker truck dares to run 200 MPHWhen you think about what Studebaker styling chief Robert Bourke must have envisioned for his smart new line of '49 Studebaker trucks, you can be sure it never would have included a guy like Norris Andersen. He'll surprise you with a quiet demeanor, but going fast is ingrained in his character. He's raced a long line of muscle, dirt, and drag machines, and when he got the land speed racing bug, he knew his experience building Sprint Cars would serve him well, as Sprint racers tend to be traditional hot rodders in disguise. Also, in the late '60s Norris was one of the Air Force technicians working on the world's fastest airplane-the top-secret SR-71 Blackbird.inline_mediumwraptextrightThe body of this 200-mph pickup is basically all stock Studebaker. The only major change is the cowl-induction hoodscoop that was narrowed to fit the hood.26285825/featuredvehicles/hrdp_1002_1949_studebaker_truckhrdp_1002_01+1949_s tudebaker_truck+.jpgTrue
