Steve’s Comments:
Superchargers were installed on a number of pre-war cars to make them more desirable and also to increase power without going to a larger displacement engine. Although sometimes troublesome, brands such as Studebaker and Auburn benefited by these installations. Cars originally equipped with superchargers are considered highly collectible today. Individual working s/c units sell for thousands of dollars on eBay now.
