The power of the engine and the maximum speed of the pick-up studebaker transtar 1958 is 270 hp (200 kW)and 77mph (124 km/h) respectively.
There is little or no comparison between to two. Studebaker was in the automotive business from 1902 to 1966 and before that they produced wagons for many years. The Edsel was a spin off from the Ford Motor Company. The were produced from 1958 to 1960. The Edsel failed in part because a huge recession happened in 1958 and people suddenly turned towards smaller, more economical models/brands rather than shop for a new upper-medium priced automobile. The Edsel was marketed above Ford and Mercury, but below Lincoln. Some would also say the 1958 Edsel was pretty ugly, especially that 'horse-collar' grille. "Looks like an Oldsmobile sucking on a lemon." was a common description of that front end. Studebaker, as an independent manufacturer, just didn't have enough of the market share, nor the amounts of money required for new tooling/models to keep it competitive with the 'big three' -Chrysler, GM, Ford. Still, Studebaker soldiered on up until the final models rolled off the Canadian assembly line on 17th of March, 1966. (the final American Studebakers were built in 1964)
The Nash Metropolitan and the Studebaker are only two that I can think of made in the USA without quad headlamps in the 1958 model year.
