Not a triumph, not an MG and yes it's american made originally with an I6 but when the company folded another guy bought them and put caddy V8's in them. About 435 made.

With the I6 it's not really as fast as it looks 0 to 60 in about 13 seconds.

Lesse...made in 1954. Company folded in 1955 but shipped the dies for the cars down to Argentina and made cars there for a few years.

Let me know when you give up.

Studebaker made it into about 1966 or so really dying in 64 with the Avanti going on till...well today more or less. They took out Packard in the late 50's and produced one of the most interesting cars the 58 Packard Hawk.
