I seriously doubt either was the basis for the Camaro.
What is noteworthy and pertinent to the Camaro, or at least GM, is that the company had never had an official United Auto Workers (UAW) strike and Studebaker workers and retirees were among the highest paid in the industry prior to their demise.
thats what I was thinking
Ok this was one of the last cars Made By Studebaker & in no shape or form does it even look like the Camaro.


For a car nut it seems like you may know nothing about the Camaro.
