in South Bend. The Rockne "10" was built in South Bend from April through July, 1933. The Rockne "65/10" engine would replace all the six-cylinder Studebaker car engines then in production and power Studebaker Dictator and Commander cars until World War II. This engine would also power postwar Commanders and Land Cruisers until the V8 became available for 1951. This engine would also be the larger of two six cylinder engines offered in trucks through 1960. Although the Rockne was not a success, its failure was a product of the times. The year 1932 was the bottom of the depression, not a good time to introduce a new name. Rockne abroad Rockne was assembled at Studebaker’s Canadian plant across the Detroit River at Walkerville, Ont. There was a small assembly production of Rockne in Scandinavia in 1932 and 1933. Norway: About 90 Rockne 65 and 75 were assembled by A/S Skabo Jernbanevognfabrik. Denmark: A small, unknown number of Rockne 65 was assembled in Copenhagen by De Forenede Automobilfabrikker A/S.
