Studebaker Legacy in Hamilton
There is something poetic about progress that respects its past. At 7 Studebaker Place in Hamilton, Ontario, history and innovation intersect in an unexpected way. What was once a car manufacturing plant is now home to one of the most advanced and sustainable self storage facilities in Hamilton.
Studebaker opened its Canadian production facility in Hamilton in 1948, in a building that had previously served as a World War II munitions plant. Over the next two decades, it produced thousands of vehicles — including the Studebaker Champion, Lark, and Packard models.
The plant provided jobs for hundreds of Hamilton residents and became a symbol of the city’s industrial identity. By 1966, the factory produced its final Canadian car — a turquoise Lark Cruiser — and the facility closed its doors. What remained was a foundation, a legacy, and an important chapter of Hamilton’s history.
