This is an "Eye-Popping" Brochure!
STUNNING! A unique two-tone color combination that no other car in Fifty-Five put together and to be honest, no other car could have wore it as beautifully as this Studebaker did. It was a car that drew attention when new and certainly gave choosy buyers something to consider if they weren't in to the usual offerings from the Big Three automakers. It was low, sleek, sporty, and like most other cars of the era it was etched with chrome. Yup, in a word, it is STUNNING!

I'll also point out that this model stands out on any shelf next to any other model. It's those colors baby, they like the Brochure are "Eye-Popping".

truly a unique time in American Auto production.....an irresistible brochure George
there was a movie (there still is actually) titled "The Great Outdoors".....I can easily envision (Dan Aykroyd`s) "Roman" bringing his family to the cabin in one of these ostentatious entities

I am so ticked off I missed that model. It just wasn't in the budget at that time and the secondary market now is brutal.

That's a very nicely done model, I'm a Studebaker fan so I was elated when it came out. Thanks George.

Like Evan, I was thrilled when this model came out and I jumped at the chance to add it to my collection. It was wild when new and still a standout today. Thanks for posting George.

I can honestly say that I've never seen a real President Speedster in my life. I've seen the regular Studebaker's, but never this one. Their in lies it's lure.
