George Hamlin is a tech- nical writer who found an early interest in profes- sional cars—both for the craftsmanship involved in making them and for what he calls the “magic” involved in putting a pas- senger car into one end of a factory and reaping some- thing entirely different out the other end. Most pro- fessional cars in the Stude- baker orbit involve such magic, from a variety of custom-body firms build- ing on a Studebaker plat- form, though this book also includes the cars that retained the stock body.  George is a long-time member of several auto-his- tory organizations, three of whose interests coincide in this work: The Studebak- er Drivers Club, the Profes- sional Car Society, and the Society of Automotive His- torians. He has written arti- cles for several auto-hobby magazines and is one of the authors of Packard: A His- tory of the Motor Car and the Company (Automo- bile Quarterly Library Se- ries, Princeton Publishing, 1978) among other books. His varied background in- cludes work in radio, televi- sion, engineering, and tech- nical manuals. M.T. Publishing has pro- duced quality commemo- rative edition publications since 1986.
