However, ballooning labor costs (the company had never had an official United Auto Workers (UAW) strike and Studebaker workers and retirees were among the highest paid in the industry), quality control issues and the new car war between Ford and General Motors in the early 1950s wrecked havoc on Studebaker's balance sheet.

In 1958, Packard was discontinued; the company became the American agent for Mercedes-Benz and many Studebaker dealers sold that brand as well.Financial constraints dictated that new models, including the compact Lark(1959) and "Avanti" sports car (1963) be based on old chassis and engine designs, and were not enough to stop the financial bleeding.
