The Studebaker Dictator was an automobile produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana (USA) from 1927-1937. Model year 1928 was the first full year of Dictator production.
1937 was the last year for the Dictator nameplate. With Hitler and Mussolini gathering power in Europe, 'Dictator' became politically incorrect and so the name was dropped. 1937 was however the first year Studebaker saw the influence of master stylist Raymond Loewy, who did a beautiful facelift of the existing 1936 models. With the Great Depression still somewhat at hand, pricing for the Dictator was quite low this year.
Six photographs of a John Kiliaan Band promotional appearance at a Studebaker car dealership in Surabaya, circa 1938. Band leader Kiliaan is the man with the saxophone, resting his foot on the base drum in the last picture. The two Studebaker models shown are the 1936 Dictator and the 1937 Dictator (or 1937 President)
