1955 Studebaker President
I will be listing a few cars here in the next week or two for my family.  We are reducing are number of cars, so please see my other listings as well.  I am not a dealer.
“The newest of the new…Advanced ’55 Studebaker…NEW VISIBILITY!  NEW COLORS!  NEW POWER!”
This 1955 Studebaker President marks the return of the legendary top trim name to this company, but the appeal here is far more than just history.  Beautiful lines, chrome, stainless, a great two-tone paint scheme, and a beautiful interior create a distinct classic!
Here we have a wonderful and rare President that has been well loved by its past few owners.  It has been serviced well through the years and is mostly unrestored original.  This could be a good
car for all your cruise night events, local car shows, or just own/drive for fun!  This car will be a treasure for your family to own for years to come and a great investment too.

This Studebaker was owned by a fellow club member for many years and was his favorite car to drive to shows and cruise-ins with his son long before my parents acquired it.  The original engine runs very well, idles smooth, and makes very good power.  The transmission shifts well/smooth and has a good feeling clutch.  No extra play in the steering, no clunks, or anything of that sort.  VERY easy to steer and stop.  The overdrive is also a big plus!
Just a great looking car both inside and out.  While there are various areas that have been touched up, and the paint is obviously very old, you can see that it shines very well and is still attractive in the photos.  This Studebaker has been in a good climate all of its life and is garage kept.  Much of the chrome and stainless is original and in good condition for its age, including the original plastic spears on top of the fenders.  It has a VERY nice original dash, steering wheel, horn ring, knobs, and controls as you can see in the photos (which is what you’d expect from a nice original survivor car with low miles).  The interior in general is quite nice for the age of the car and for being as original as it is.  Engine bay and trunk are both clean and tidy.
It is a great looking car that you should be proud to take to all your events or just drive for fun and special occasions.
