Neither vehicle is a Studebaker, nor any Ford made in the US or Canada. I don't know what they are, and I can usually ID almost every vehicle from the 1920's thru today.
The first vehicles grille sorta resembles a Hillman Minx. The 2nd vehicle looks somewhat similar to a '39 Buick or Chevrolet.
Hey Shaky, glad to see you are back on FTE!

There were no Trabants back then, it's not a ZIS (resembles a 1942 Packard 180) nor a ZIL (resembles a 1955 Packard), so I'm guessing it might be a Moscovitch.

I wonder if there is a water cooled engine under the hood.
If for nothing else than to heat water for the cabin. That
looks to be an air cooled engine on the push prop, but maybe
water cooled. I had a "56 Hillman when I was about 15.
I had no idea at that time anything could be positive ground
6V. So as it had no battery when I drug it home, I put a 12v
in it and proceeded to fire her up. The first sign something
was wrong was when the throttle cable turned white hot
and disappeared. Long story short when I figured it all out
it ran and drove very well. Anyway thanks for getting me
posting again Guys. After 4 brain surgery's this past year
I haven't much felt like wanting to. Although I come here
every morning over coffee when not in the hospital.

When OHV V8's were first introduced, all were 6V. When these engines were hot, they were very hard to start. You'd grind away on the starter till the battery went dead.
The fixum was to either install an 8V or a 6/12 battery. The 6/12 battery had a 12V solenoid mounted on the top of it. It started on 12V then ran on 6V.
