1955 Studebaker President Unknown

One of the most "ahead of its time" cars of the fifties came from the little independent auto company from South Bend Indiana, Studebaker. The most stunning of all coupes offered by any manufacturer was the President model, like the one you see here. All new in 1953, they were low, sleek, sporty, luxurious, and thought to be a remarkable design. This top of the line model was updated for 1955. It became one of the longest running series for Studebaker that lasted into the sixties. Numerous improvements were seen in 1955. Under the hood, the Passmaster 259 c.i.d. V-8 had a power increase. Known for being smooth and quiet these power trains were respected among performance enthusiast. This one was upgraded with dual exhaust and great sounding turbo mufflers. It also has a 4 barrel carburetor. It is mated to a smooth shifting, stalk mounted, 3 speed manual transmission, making this little jewel fun to drive. It rides on a stock chassis incorporating Goodyear wide white wall radials mounted on Kelsey-Hayes style chrome wheels. It really enhances the looks but rides and handles much better also. The body is solid, spending most of its life in California. The two tone paint scheme is accented with very nice chrome, trim, and glass. Were not sure if the interior is all original as it is in-cased in plastic, like they did back in the day, protecting the cloth. It is in outstanding condition throughout and looks great. Most of this car is original. This Stude runs, rides, and drives fantastic. No matter which party you are affiliated with, you will love this President. Financing, insurance, and delivery are available.
