About Stephen Allen’s LLC

Hi! Thanks for visiting Stephen Allen’s. Our involvement with Studebakers goes back more than 60 years, when Stephen’s father purchased a used ’51 Champion as a second car in 1960.  

As a teenager in the 1970’s, Stephen had already solidified himself as a gearhead. His father, still owning the ’51 Champion, discovered that used Studebakers could be had for cheap (often times free), and working on car projects would be a good way to keep Stephen out of trouble. 

 The interest in fixing up Studebakers was more than a passing fad, and as time went on the whole family became involved. As derelict cars continued to end up in their driveway, it wasn’t long before a “couple of old cars” had amassed into a “collection”. 

 In 1993, Stephen purchased his first large inventory of Studebaker parts. While having a large cache of parts on hand would be convenient for maintaining the family’s fleet, he realized that it would also serve to help other Studebaker owners keep their cars on the road. Countless more inventories were purchased and as the years went on, the parts found their way onto Studebakers all around the world. 

 The first iteration of Stephen Allen’s Studebaker Parts lasted until 2007, when Stephen chose to pursue other interests. And while it may have seemed like the end of the era, we re-opened the doors and began providing Studebaker parts again full time in 2017. Since then, we’ve continued to purchase other inventories and reproduce needed parts that have long been unavailable. 

 In 2022, long-time employees Danny Thomas and Matt Burnette purchased the business. Our goal is to continue Stephen Allen’s long-standing tradition of providing quality parts and customer service, and to help you keep your Studebaker on the road. We both own and drive Studebakers ourselves, and we’re proud to be able to help other like-minded enthusiasts. 

 As for Stephen, he seems to be enjoying cars as a hobby again. And yes, he still has the ’51 Champion that started it all.
