A Studebaker is mentioned in Ep.16. Translation: YU Zecheng: Adjutant Pang told me Commander Xu has a car, a Studebaker. WU Jingzhong: What's it like? YU: Don't you even know that, sir? It's the kind General Chennault uses. Brand new, just shipped in from the Philippines. If you're willing to spare Xu, his family would like to offer you the car. WU: I have no interest in cars. If Xu walks away clean, I'll be the one in jail. YU: Yes, yes. I thought about it too. A Studebaker is too flashy, so I told Pang you don't care for cars. WU: Who doesn't care for cars! […] WU: (on the phone) Ask your brother right now, find out how much a brand-new Studebaker sedan is worth. What, don't you even know that? It's the kind Chennault uses! |

Possibility 1: Studebaker Commander — The Theory That Best Fits Chennault’s Status Match: Extremely High Reason: As a mid-to-high-end luxury sedan, its name and positioning are a perfect match for Chennault’s status as a general. Before the outbreak of World War II, Studebaker’s flagship model was the President series, with the Commander coming in a close second. When production resumed after the war, the President series was temporarily shelved, and the Commander naturally became the brand’s top-of-the-line model at the time. If Xu needed a car to save his life—and one that was the same model as Chennault’s—this imposing and imposing-sounding luxury sedan would undoubtedly be the most logical choice. Possibility 2: 1946 Studebaker Champion — The Hypothesis That Best Fits the “Brand-New” Timeline Match: Very High Reason: If this car were truly the “latest model” rolled off the assembly line shortly after the U.S. resumed production, the most likely candidate would be the 1946 Studebaker Champion (Skyway series). The Champion model was the first Studebaker model to resume production in late 1945 (essentially a slightly modified version of the 1942 model). As one of the first brand-new American sedans shipped to the Far East after the war (transshipped via the U.S.-controlled Philippines), it perfectly aligns with Yu Zecheng’s description of a car that was “new, just shipped over from the Philippines.” Its exterior was extremely streamlined for the time, with extensive chrome trim on the front fascia—a description that perfectly matches Yu’s remark that it was “too flashy.” |
