Erskine (automobile)
The Erskine was an American automobile brand produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana, United States, from 1926 to 1930. The marque was named after Albert Russel Erskine (1871–1933), Studebaker's president at the time. During his term as president, Erskine encouraged Studebaker engineers to develop advanced engines. As a result, the company achieved numerous racing wins and a bigger share of the upper-price market. This left Studebaker without an entry-level automobile in the United States, and Erskine, who had always been fascinated by smaller European vehicles, saw market potential in a short-wheelbase compact car, especially if it could expand Studebaker's presence in the European market. The Erskine Six was therefore first launched in Paris.Longstreet, Stephen ''A Century on Wheels: The Story of Studebaker'', New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1952, p. 91 When introduced in time for the American 1927 model year, the car was named after its creator, ...
