Vehicle Detail

1955 Studebaker President Speedster 2-door hard top. EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL! ONLY 39,440 ORIGINAL MILES!! Just finished a 2-year restoration last week. This car ready to roll and turn heads! She is absolutely stunning! Just gorgeous. This 1955 Studebaker Speedster, commonly referred to, in its day as the "Lemon Lime" is 1 of only 420 top-of-the-line Speedster built in the Los Angeles, CA , (Vernon) plant. This car was Studebaker's answer to the Corvette and Thunderbird with a twist, it was a 4-seater. It was designed to compete with the 'Vette and Bird, but to appeal to sports car/hot rod enthusiasts with kids. 1955 was the only year for the Speedster; in 1956 Studebaker took a slightly different approach with introduction of the Golden Hawk. I purchased this 1955 Studebaker President Speedster from the original owner about 26 years ago. I kept her in indoor storage for 24 years at which point I began to restore the car. It was in such nice shape, I decided to do a frame-on-restoration. Since the engine and transmission worked fine, I merely clean them up to the original paint. This car now has: 1. New two tone lemon lime exterior paint 2. Complete new upholstery including kick and door panels, back seat side panels, back window panel, headliner, 5 arm rests, front and back seats 3. All new chrome everywhere 4. New Dunlap white wide wall original tires 5. New vacuum brake booster 6. New radiator 7. Rebuilt carburetor 8. New points condenser & spark plug wires 9. New spark plugs 10. New power steering pump 11. New wiring for headlights, fog lights, horns, parking lights, back up lights and tail lights 12. New carpeting throughout the interior and trunk 13. New master cylinder 14. All new rubber seals for windows, trunk, hood and doors 15. Stripped clean all undercarriage and repainted 16. New tail lights and parking light lenses 17. Three original horns rebuilt plus a multitude of original replacement parts 18. All clean gas tank , fuel lines and brake lines 19. New wind wing and door glass I am relisting this item because the winning bidder refused to purchase the car because the gauges in the dash board were still disconnected and not working plus as well as not having enough cash on hand to buy the car.
