- #classictruckrescue #classictrucks #classictruckranch Classic Truck Rescue goes after a 1949 Studebaker Short Bed Pickup with Amazing Original Patina for a potential shop truck. While we're there, we film Roger's collection of vintage tractors that have been a landmark just-off I-5 in Oregon for decades. An update on the progress of clearing out the space where the "Shop in a box" will go.

Hi Rick, I truly appreciate all the hard work you go to rescuing all these old trucks and so forth. When ever I see derelict tractors like those in this video I tend to want them all. My dad used to say to me; "Boy, you've got a champagne appetite with a beer income," and you know, he was right. You're doing a bang up job rescuing all these old vehicles from the past. Have a blessed day, Jay
Thank you Jay. Still loving my John Deer Pocketknife, just can't bring myself to use it because its so pretty. -Rick
Rick Jaime and Annabelle I really appreciate yall and your dedication to what you enjoy doing !!!! Yall have become a part of my family !!! I live alone with my 2 puppies and I watch every video I get a chance to see !!! Have been subscribed since the first video that I saw !!!! Yall have awesome friends !!! Hope that I am one of them !!!
Thanks so much Robert!
I for one appreciate you traipsing around in the rain to show us Roger's collection of old tractors as I love stuff like that. You and I seem to have the same enjoyment only I don't have your restoration skills. I'm a retired 15 employee Machine Shop owner with back ground in maintenance of Steel Mill equipment, machining & fabrication: mig tig arc, however I am not good at mig welding like I am the other two. Hence I enjoy anything to do with tractors, trucks, and other equipment.
I have always envied anyone who has access to a fully-equipped machine shop and the needed skills to do machine work. If everyone building a car or truck had this resource, the builds would be greatly enhanced. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
My pleasure. Thanks again for your painstaking video productions, I enjoy them. Your channel is right up my alley so to speak..
thanks,tractor collection was great my dad would have walked around there for days in the rain with bad legs,son of the 50s
hey rick thanks for doing an old studebaker pickup truck. my grandpa always used them for his construction company up until he retired in nineteen seventy two. i used to ride with him in an old dark green truck just like this one back in the late 60's that was spotless. so i know what they look like when brand new. it's very rare to see a 20 year old truck with out a ding, dent or scratch on it, but grandpa always seemed to find them from the 1940's and a couple from the 50's. he always passed them down to my dad, so i've riden in many. have a great day rick....
Old video ❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless Y'all and your critters
I'll bet old One Lonely Farmer was drooling at some of those John Deere's great video Rick really enjoy your stuff can't wait to see you get your shop up.
a big thank you guys at C.T.R for dividing your time between running a business and making intresting video's, i like the parts when a old engine starts up after being pulled out from the woods.
What a beautiful truck! Man I can already see it back on the road. They don't make lines like that anymore! Great find guys
Also would you be willing to sell her?
rick@classictruckrescue.com Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
We do appreciate what you go through to bring us these videos, thank you Rick & Jamie& Anna.
Thank you my friend and we appreciate you Watchin'. -Rick
Nice, very nice. Back when I first started driving there was a Studebaker on a farm next town over. It was in good shape and even back then the Studebakers were a rare item. TFS
nice video! Studebaker's were always an interest.
I've always been kind of partial to them myself. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Nice old truck. Good thing it was raining made it a little easier to slide onto the trailer. Great progress on the range keep up the good work.
I never thought about that, but you are absolutely right. Thanks Fer Watchin' again. -Rick
I used to have a 1953 PU. After the flat six blew a rod thru the block I put a 259 from a Speedster in it - really woke it up with those 4.54 gears! :)
I bet! Doesn't seem like they weigh very much either. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
When I went to county dump they weighed me going in & out to determine the fee. With the V8 installed it weighed 3160 lbs.
There's a soft spot in my heart for Studebaker's. There was many in my young life, my Grandpa loved them.
There was one in my young life too Bob. I walked by a 1949 just like this one everyday on my way to elementary school. It was primer gray with Cragars and Mickey Thompson Indy-Profile 50's on it. Loved that truck. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Man you an Jamie are living the life I wanted to do 25+ yrs ago, my wife fell in love with me an my trucks, my lifestyle... then life happened;).
Love all your videos!!!
Hey Rick, you have to know we appreciate the work you do. That's why we watch your vids buddy. You are a modern day pioneer, with all you are doing at the ranch. Watching the old trucks you are saving is a bonus.
Rick..think Anna has trucking fever too....lol..btw..Steve's truck is awesome...
Anna was raised on rust. Been going after crusty trucks since she was a baby. I like Steve's truck too. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
That a great looking truck. I hope that you find a good home for her.
These Studebaker trucks have a unique styling that stayed pretty much the same for a long stretch. Wether it gets restored or used for parts it was worth saving.
I agree Lee. I do have to admit something though. I get a lot of comments from people who like one brand better than all others. I have always said its okay (and even normal) to like one brand more than others, but that we should respect the fact that other people have different tastes in trucks and we should all just be friends and appreciate our old trucks together. I purposely bought a couple Fords recently to demonstrate that I do love all old trucks. I "Prefer" Chevy and GMC trucks, but have always liked different makes and models of anything automotive. So I thought it would be a good statement to buy a Studebaker. I started looking for one several months ago and actually found the one in the video over a month ago. I sent a total of four or five messages over a three week period expressing an interest in buying the truck, but got no response and finally gave up on it. Then Jeff gave me a call out of the blue and asked if I was still interested. The rest is history. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
I remember when I was 5 or 6 years old back in the mid 60's, my dad bought an old Studebaker pickup from a tow company auction. He got it running, and with him sitting next to me or me on his lap so he can operate the clutch, he let me drive that thing in the empty lot next to our house. That was the greatest thing for a little kid like me to do. I think he got it so that I can mess around with it, learning how to use tools to take things apart off of it. That is probably what got me starting on fixing things on my own vehicles. I will always have a soft spot for Studebaker pickups.
Its amazing the memories old trucks bring back to life. Thanks for sharing and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
I love old Studebakers!
Me TOO! Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
I'm 12 years old and I love old American cars and trucks my grandfather has a 56 bel air that he bought for 10 dollars when he was 15. He also has a 1970 nova SS that we picked up 3 years ago and got it running last summer. I love that car I say it will be my first car and any time we go to the drag strip and se a nova he tells me to tell them about my nova
Wow. You are a fortunate young man. Your Grandpa sounds like a very cool Guy. a 1970 Nova SS is a sweet find in ANY condition. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
falling in love with all those Minneapolis Moline tractors wow
They're kind of growing on me too. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
nice stuff Rick keep it up the good work and find some more good stuff
I have to round-up all the stuff I've already found Richard. Thanks Fer Stopping by again. -Rick
You know that right
Awesome, CTR,... ya'll rescued a lawn ornament.....Ohh it'd be fun to resto-mod that poor thing.
That's the plan my Friend. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
The ranch is coming along nicely,great find on the truck,love those old tractor's.
Rick we apriciate the old cars and tractors you show us keep up the good work and God bless you and jamie!! Greetings from the Netherlands
yes rick we all like to see the shop in a box go up please
Nice old Studebaker, I always thought they had some great styling. They just smooth sitting there. Plenty of room for a nice small block Chevy. Keep us informed of any progress on it. My neighbor has a 52 or 53 in his backyard, but dont think he will part with it, never asked. Keep rescuing those trucks Rick.
Will do my Friend. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
That Montecarlo grill fits pretty well on that truck .
I agree. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Those trucks look pretty good
Thank you Martin and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Rick Great video. Most folks understand when you have to move it takes a lot of time and money. and especially when you have to do all the moving of all the trucks. And than all you had to do to get your trailer ready so you folks could move out to the ranch, and all the roads and your elec. you put in to the ranch. I just want you to know I really enjoy all the videos. And I wish you the best and my god bless you and your wife and keep up the great work
Thank you Gary. Sometimes people find our channel and are not aware of the hand we were dealt a year and a half ago. We have worked hard though and I feel we have made great progress. I want nothing more than to have a nice, dry organized shop (Doesn't even have to be warm, just dry) so I can get back to building trucks. For now I am happy and thankful to be able to provide projects and parts for people. It gives me the opportunity to do what I love and earn an honest living to be able to keep building and moving forward. Thanks for the encouragement (It really does help) and as always, Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Very cool Rick! There are currently four Studes in my family. I know of many around here, if you ever get this far out East. I'm from Indiana of course! Keep up the good work!
The unidentified tractor appears to be an Oliver.
You guys are amazing...I watch every thing you do..You make it EASY for me to be there also on you tube..Keep it up ...we have the same DREAMS..... Thanks for looking at all those tractors....Tom
To me the front hood of the stude. looks a little like a 49 Mercury. And yes Rick some of us appreciates the extras you do. Keep up the good work. Thanks Fer showin,- Angelo PS Hi Annabbella.....
I used to own that exact model in around 1981 and sold it to my brother who had it for about a year or more in Wenatchee WA.
Hey doesn't Ken (1963impala2dr) live in Wenatchee ?
Thanks Fer Watchin Dave and Charles. -Rick
He does, I met him at a car show in Wilson Creek WA and got to see that awesome Rat Rod he has had for some time....That fella is a Craftsman with a n outstanding ability to see the results of his creations before he creates them. I live about 50 miles from Wenatchee but know the area that Ken lives quite well as it was part of my families stomping grounds. P.S. you are one of the main channels I follow....I love old trucks especially GM.
Not in to bad of shape, considering she's a '49! You usually do '59-'77... So, this Stude has 10 more years of weathering on her. The tailgate looks real nice! Great rescue!!! :) Rick, I truly love watching your "rescue videos". My newest acquisition is a 1972 Ford F-250 4X4 "Hi-Boy"...
That is a nice truck for its age
I agree. Still amazed at the condition of the exterior body panels. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
That would be cool if someone would do a show class tractor rescues and save some of the old tractors I love the tractors and old trains too
Rick you need a few of those tractors too!!!
I think you are right. I'll be seeing Roger and Jeff again. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
I've actually driven past that place before. It seems amazing and I've always wanted to stop by but never had the time.
I'll admit, 50 old tractors would be worth a lot in scrap metal, but if I owned those I wouldn't sell them for anything!
That Studebaker sure is one pretty truck! I like the looks of several years of Ford pickups from the late forties through early/mid 50s. I had forgotten about the Studebaker pickup though. I know I've seen some before. I think I like it so much because it reminds me of cars from when I grew up, the 1960s, with headlights either side of the grill. Now I have to look up the Internationals from back then. I think some are similar. Thanks for the video, despite the lousy weather. P.S. When I saw the empty engine bay, I was thinking like Les Paul - Hot rod truck.
'mornin Rick; 'nuther wonderful addition to C T R who don't love them ole Stut's ? Always get a charge out of the endings with Annabella Tell'n ya just who's BOSS ATB Terry God Bless
I had one like that back in the 70's had a V8 and overdrive...... it would really go.
Man, I wish this one had a V8 and an overdrive. I bet that was a fun ride. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
I have seen that Studebaker truck sitting there for a long time .
I didn't......but glad I saw it when they were finally ready to let it go. I think Jeff told me its been sitting there for 20-years. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Didn't know Studebaker made trucks!!! Wow
Soggy?? you look like you're walking through rivers..Studebakers are mean looking trucks just the way they were made 👍👍👍
It was actually a foot deep in some of the places I was walking. Not a great day for doing a video, but you gott'a do what you gott'a do, Right? Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Yuppers, Thanks for sharing your adventure it isn't always fun and games
fantastic video man, i love the old studebakers i want one myself
Center part of the grill reminds me of a ‘72 Chev without the bow tie.
Thats not a 49 grill. Sorta looks like a 46 car grill. Hood badges aren't correct either. Custom!
I've been doin' Studebakers and Willys for well over 40 years. I know you'll enjoy this one. Maybe not too far gone to restore. Heater is not too common in a '49. It should have a Champion 6 cyl. with a 3 sp. OD trans. Better than 20 mpg. Correct grill will give it "The Look".
nice. enjoyed #61
Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin' Again. -Rick
Classic Truck Rescue. you are cool
That kind of studebaker pickup originally had a motor mount system that let the engine jump around inside the truck like a jackrabbit trying to get out.
Well, I'll make sure we get the new one bolted and welded in their properly. A highly doubt anything but the body panels will be original by the time I finish with this one. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
no problem I like the trucks
Thanks for the videos rick love them! You should look into opening a shop and selling shirts , hats etc with CTR logo and stuff i'd be glad to pick up stuff! thanks again man god bless
That is something I'm working towards. Thank you Greg and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
good find
When I was a kid back in the 50s' we called them "Rutabagas"
Close...I have been calling this one "Rude-a-Baker" and "Rude-Stude". Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
WOW...that's........WOW.......
My uncle had A 49' Studebaker back in the late 50's to the mid 60' s. unfortunately it was sold at auction along with my father's 52' Starlite Coupe ( also A Studebaker) A young moron cousin rolled the Starlite into A creek and almost killed himself!
I was only 14 when my grandfather's estate auction took place so I was out of luck buying any of his tractors ( Ford 8n, John Deere A, John Deere B and some other's I can't remember) or his 39' Packard. I do have A 56' Farmall 400 I'm working on but as this model was only made for 3 year's part's are made out of Unabtanium!!
Good luck with your place and your Ratstorations!!
Thank you Gary. Funny....unobtanium....I have a few projects that need parts made out of this material, so I feel your pain. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Thanks Rick, another nice old piece rescued. Way back many episodes you had been looking at a early 70's superbee (Yellow). What ever became of it?
Its still sitting up the hill waiting for me to get my shop built. The owner (Ron) was very correct when he said in that video "Things take a little longer than we think. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
awesome truck hope you can restore it
Looks like it has a monte carlo grill in it. I could be wrong. I know nothing about studabakers lol. Nice old pick up
My brother drove it around for the time he had it.
Interesting video, I like the old tractors too, and the Studebaker is awesome! I have always loved old cars and old trucks, but I have never been able to actually afford one!!! Even now watching your video I have to wonder what you sell old trucks for, but honestly "who cares?" because I still could never afford one!!! And another thing too is nobody in my life has ever understood my interest in old cars and trucks either!! In fact when I told others back in the 1970s that there was money to be made by buying and selling old vehicles everybody laughed at me and told me I was stupid!!! In fact when I asked my parents to take welding class they insisted I take electronics instead which has a career choice never paid me snot either!!!! So ultimately I gave up on my dreams of old vehicles many years ago, but I can still watch videos about them now that I have survived a heart attack and a stroke, and can no longer drive!!! And still many of those same people (including my family) tell me that anything I am into is stupid or crazy or both!! So again who cares??? Certainly not me anymore about much of anything!! But it was still a nice video to see an ol' '49 Studebaker just the same even though my "someday" dreams have completely slipped away from me!
Greg, I'm sorry to hear about the setbacks and negativity you have endured. The old car hobby has lots of room for people to enjoy different aspects of without having to put out the financial and labor costs involved with a restoration or build. Many car shows are held in venues that make them inexpensive or even free to attend. Local car clubs are always looking for people to help out. There are people on the internet looking to trade work. Perhaps your skills with electronics could be traded for work on an old project of your own. I have faced a lot of negativity in my life as well. I have learned that when people pile a bunch of "You Can't do it" upon my shoulders, I perform some of my most amazing displays of "Just watch me". If that makes sense. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Happy music.
Yeah, every now and then I go find some new music just to change it up a bit. I think I found a couple good ones, but really like the the one at the beginning. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Thanks for getting wet so I can see those old tractors. I think that’s Rudy the Studebaker. And was that Jim Morrison and the Doors?!
thank you for letting me now can you make more videos please
I've been putting out quite a few videos lately. I will keep it up as best as I can, but I also have work to do. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
That hood ornament is actually off a Buick. The grill is from something else too.
Rick nice score on the studebaker . Looking forward to seeing what direction you go with the studebaker. And Roger had a nice collection of tractors.
Rick it was good to see Steve back at the classic truck rescue. Will Steve be going with you to pick up the f600 tow truck next month?
Steve has a full-time job. He comes with me when he is able to. He does it because he enjoys it. But I agree, I'd like to take him with me on the F600 rescue. Thanks Fer Watchin' Again James. -Rick
Before you build your home close to that creek, check out Hurricane Agnes in 1972. I saw places that were big and far away from creeks underwater. It'was like 10 feet over flood stage in my area, last flood like that was 40 years ago. Any place that was near a creek or river was under water.
wow. haven't seen in of those in a while
Me either. Thanks Fer Watchin' Chad. -Rick (1st Comment).
Classic Truck Rescue , tinker is good looking truck! ranch is looking real good! old fashioned tent raising party in the works! be safe on them ladders.
if I where a fella with a few extra bucks I'd have that stude... he's got a whole other life left in him yet, to bad his engine and Trans are gone. As far as your shipping container shop goes, I've always wanted to have two spread out 35 or 40 feet and have some trusses made to cover the middle, and use one container as an office and one as a tool crib pour some concrete in the middle build a waste oil burner a add a big hanger style door. Bob's your uncle, but that's only if I had the cash.
oh and keep up the good work, save as many as you can.
I eventually want to do the same thing with my containers. The stude will live again my Friend. Don't know yet if I'll be the one to build it, but I couldn't leave it where it was. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
The best guard dog and inventing a whole new class of "guard dog" by protecting valuable equipment from disgusting mice.
I love that little dog. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
hey Rick I have been watching since the video about the 1940s the Bradley walk behind tractor
Holy COW! you have been watching for a very long time. Thank you for your dedication and my condolences for having to watch some really bad videos....because I'm not kidding myself into believing they are all good. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Classic truck rescue visits Classic tractor rescue..lol.
the camera could have a nite vision switch on it some were for those dark shots,great old truck.
Pressure,a little sanding and clear coat the Studebaker.
I agree completely Roger. Thanks Fer Watchin' Again. -Rick
back in the mid 1970's my aunt bought a 1964 'Studabaker 4 door touring car at an estate sale in Fresno CA. my father. check with Studabaker Canada and learned that they still made psrts for the car you might contact them if they sre still in business for needed parts. Just a thought.
Thank you. You are correct. There are several companies my viewers have made me aware of that still have parts for the old 'Stude. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Found this site canadianstudebaker.com/Order%20Parts.htm
I know where one is about this year . been sitting under a shed for awhile looks to be in good shape.
I would look into it if I were you. The old Studebakers aren't everyone's cup of tea, but there are a lot of people who think they have awesome lines and were ahead of their time. I walked by a 1949 just like this one everyday on my way to elementary school. It was primer gray with Cragars and Mickey Thompson Indy-Profile 50's on it. Loved that truck. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Sweet I always thought it would make a sweet hot rod
I'd like to snag it up if I could
The two that you thought were Molines, were Cockshutts...I believe it was bought out by Oliver.
Holy cow...never heard of a Cockshutt...I think you would know though. Like I said, I'm not a tractor expert, but I do love the old things...they've certainly helped me out. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
that truck would make a cool rat rod with a clear coat and a 350 chevy in it
Yup. I agree. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
wow they must grow tractors at that farm
but do yall ever fully restore 1 truck?
th-cam.com/video/cOt2AHMJYQw/w-d-xo.html yes, but it has been difficult since we bought 25-acres of undeveloped land a year ago and had to put in a temporary home, water, electric, roads and moving everything. I do have a current build called "Boomer" going on that you can check out as well. It is currently at Intermountain-Innovations where a talented young man named Adam Bany is doing all of the fabrication work. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Very good, acquisition fantastic, mu preferrend brand: STUDEBAKER. maneco p Porto Alegre-RS - Brasil
I love it. Its different and cool in its own special way. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
U need that John Deere at the end of the row since Pumpkin is not too good. I used to plow with one just like that, was a 60 series and was one tough tractor, even had power steering and double stacks because it has a diesel engine started by a gas engine. Thanks for getting wet for us. Those old Farmall tractors were good too but not as good at the deere.
For some reason that grille looks out of place. Or is it my fading memory??? Nice find, though. Really like that style.
I don't know exactly what the grill is, but you are correct. It is not the right grill for the 'Stude. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Name Idea for the new addition - Stewart. for Studebaker.
ha Rick what happened to the red tractor and I love you guys
That's "Tug" 1949 International Farmall OS4 . Yes, I still have Tug, I have to replace his starter. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Hey Rick, just Googled 49 Studys and that front grill ain't right.
The "whistling" background music at the beginning, who was that? another great video, thanks
bloody wind, but other than that good episode
I know. It was a rough day to make a video while working. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Rick that old Studebaker truck is as old as me, born 1949, and like me has a fair amount of rust going on (painful joints) but unlike me he/she can be repaired, are you planning on rebuilding to keep or sell on.
Another thing I noticed as you took Steve along to pick it up, I take it you went between Mon - Fri as Jamie was not there, probably had to stay behind to drive the school bus.
Jamie if that's the way it went but your weekends are free, remind Rick that now and again that weekend collections, floats your boat.
Sorry Rick Just sayin! I know you will wherever possible.
UK Barry & Flo
Rick how many old studebakers do you think it will to make one runner.
Just this one....and the running gear I have on hand. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Kinda rough? My 65 Ford pick up that has been sitting for 30 years must be showroom quality. Hope you can get her going.
I've brought worse ones back. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
That would be great. Good luck.
Where did you get the music at the front of the vlog, a few people use it and I love it ?
Its free music available to all TH-cam Creators. Courtesy of "Silent Partner" and called "Spring in my Step". I really like it too. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Always a awesome vid brother... I like to know if you have doors and fenders for a 63 chevy C10? I'm really needs parts for mine that I just got a few months ago.. I live in Oregon too... Please let me know sir.. I am a buyer... God bless and thank you foe saving our American classics...
Make a wood Roof over the containers
I agree.
i enjoyed the video but where is homer/the trailer you got with homer?
They're both on Sick-Leave. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
nice project i m wondering. how much money will cost that truck to fix. the cheap wey
I could have this truck cleaned up, equipped with a small, block chevy, turbo 350 automatic, power steering and brakes and good electrics for about 5-grand. That doesn't include the cost of my work though, but since I don't pay myself much...it is do-able. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Rick, with you saying the second tractor in the row in the open was a Ford, I thought it was a Ferguson (see my post in the other video on them you posted) made me curious as too, did Ford or Ferguson copy each others designs as they looked so much alike, so I did some research and hears what I found out.
The Ford model 9N tractor was introduced in mid-year 1939 as a joint venture after a handshake agreement between Henry Ford and Harry Ferguson. Commonly known as the Ford - Ferguson tractor, Harry Ferguson designed the 3 point hitch and hydraulic system while Ford's engineers designed and built the tractor that made it all work together. The 9 was for the year, 1939, and N was Ford's designation for tractor. The original price was $585.
Henry Ford II, Ford's grandson, ended the famous handshake deal on 30 June 1947, following unsuccessful negotiations with Ferguson, but continued to produce a tractor, the 8N, incorporating Ferguson's inventions, the patents on almost all of which had not yet expired, and Ferguson was left without a tractor to sell in North America. Ferguson's reaction was a lawsuit demanding compensation for damage to his business and for Ford's illegal use of his designs, and thus ended the allegiance of those two great men.
The case was settled out of court in April 1952 for just over $9 million, the court case cost him (Ferguson) about half of that and a great deal of stress and ill health, such a shame it ended this way.
