Beautiful car and beautiful photo, Hereford. Bet you'd love to have it back. I had a '67 Cougar I would love to have back.

Beautiful restoration. Studebaker was so far ahead of their time in styling.

I owned a 1955 Studebaker, body was the same except for the grill, which was horizontal instead of the vertical square. Otherwise the same. Mine was Prima red with black top. Drove it for about 10 years--approx 250k miles. Had very little trouble except for a truck load of generators & starters (these were made by G M--Delco). Great car---still miss it ---Henry Wattenbarger.

Studebaker made some very good looking, and fast, cars. Their lines were more streamlined and aerodynamic in my mind. My brother owned two. Unfortunately, like several other car companies, they were overpowered by the "Big Three."

My dad had a few Studebakers. His 1955 Commander had a V8, and it would scoot. I remember changing the Spark plugs required it be on a lift because the compartment fit was so tight. A beautiful and very comfortable car.
Studebakers require a special taste. Like Speyside Scotch. Not for everybody, but satisfying for the ones who love them.
