Hutts of Roanoke, Virginia from the Jarrett – Chewning Motor Company on March 20, 1951 and remained with the family until purchased by our client. Included in the photographs are images of a notebook he compiled which contains many original documents. These documents include original registration, dealership information, Virginia State Inspection receipts- including the first and last Virginia State Inspections (the last inspection was in 1987, upon which time the car was removed from service. When it was returned to the road in 2008, it was registered as an antique). Condition: Excellent condition. This very low mileage Studebaker has been selectively restored as necessary to preserve as many of the original finishes as possible. The plated components, as an example, are original and in beautiful condition. Thus, these items and the interior, trunk and under body remain in original, untouched condition. The body has been carefully refinished in the original color, and minor blemishes were removed. The car has no corrosion or collision damage and retains 100% of its original interior trim. The engine was given a light rebuild and has been nicely detailed in correct finishes. The car starts instantly and runs perfectly. Presently, for show, the car rides on 4 Allstate 4-Ply Wide Whitewall 6.70-15 tires with a spare in the trunk. Included are 4 Kumho 215/75/R15 radial tires, mounted on painted wheels, matching the body color, for touring. THIS IS A BUY IT NOW LISTINGClicking the icon means you have bought a car, so...
