Studebaker ½ ton pickup truck, Model 2R5 – Serial Number HR5-1275


Studebaker is the only car company to ever manufacture vehicles in Hamilton.  In 1946, Studebaker of Canada Ltd. acquired the 7 ½ acre anti-aircraft gun factory located on Victoria Avenue North, and converted it into a car and light truck production facility. The first Hamilton-made Studebaker’s rolled of the Victoria Avenue assembly line in August of 1948, and the plant produced its last vehicle March 16, 1966.


Studebaker produced its Canadian market 2R5 pick-up truck in Hamilton from 1949-1953.  It was the first truck ever produced in North America without exposed running boards and with a double sided pickup bed that was smooth on both the inside and outside.  Over its 5-year production run in Hamilton, Studebaker produced a total of 6,602 2R5 trucks, of which few survive today.


Our 1949 Studebaker 2R5 was delivered new to a barley farmer outside Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.  It originally had red paint, some of which can still be seen inside the cab area.  It is a one-family owned example that spent its entire life working on a barley farm producing malts for the beer industry.

We are happy to bring our Studebaker back to her birthplace in Hamilton, and look forward to preserving another piece of Hamilton heritage, and extending her life in the beer industry as a part of the Shawn & Ed Brewing Company Team!

One of the best things about Off Campus Outfits is the balance between trend-driven fashion and comfort. The pieces appear versatile enough to work with jeans, sneakers, or layered seasonal looks, which makes them appealing beyond just fans of the show.

It's always exciting to see a company grow and bring new energy into the fold, especially in a craft as passionate as brewing. I'm sure this new team member will feel right at home, much like a Cartoonperson discovering their perfect niche.

I appreciate the introduction of Maiya Samman Yojana and Atal Pension Yojana. These initiatives are a blessing for poor households. Women receive respect and economic help through Maiya Samman Yojana, and Atal Pension Yojana ensures a reliable income during old age. Families now feel secure and hopeful. I recommend everyone to enroll and encourage others too. Such schemes play an important role in improving social welfare and economic safety.

Doodle Baseball presents an opportunity for players to engage in a self-challenging experience through progressively escalating pitch velocities. The game Doodle Baseball escalates in complexity as one progresses through its levels. Maintaining concentration emerges as the crucial element in achieving significant successes.
