General description :
1955 Studebaker President Speedster This beauty delivers next-level performance, and built to be driven. Every inch is a show stopper! The Speedster was a very limited model with only 2215 ever built. Studebaker top-of-the-line model in 1955. Considered Studebaker's halo model and a member of the President series. This build has taken the Studebaker to a hole new level of excellence. Finely crafted, turned this Speedster from an automobile to an art piece. A high-end custom that not only is a show car but is built to be driven. Start the build with a full custom boxed frame to handle the power, but has function in addition to form. To build performance is one thing, but make it handle and ride smooth at the same time is a true skill. Two main goals, one is to build a show stopper and two is make a car you're not afraid to drive. For handling a Mustang II rack and pinion front end. Custom fabricated frame with QA1 adjustable coil-overs. Stopping power comes Wilwood front disc and rear drums. For power, big-block vibe...bigger is always better! 1985 454ci with a 4-bolt main and Comp "Thumper" cam! Massive Pro-Comp 272 oval port aluminum heads, fully polished Shootout high rise intake manifold toped with a Holley 750cfm carburetor. MSD Digital 6AL ignition moves you with "The Fire To Drive" in a digital powerhouse! A Griffin 4-core radiator and electric fan keeps things cool under any driving condition. Backing up the 454 is a turbo 350 with a B&M shifter, and a Ford 9 inch rear-end with 3.55 Posi-track gear and Strange Engineering axles. Flowmaster 50 mufflers with 2.5-inch exhaust gives this beauty the perfect sound. The custom interior starts with C3 Corvette bucket seats with stitched "Speedster." The door panels and the original Speedster back seat is done in the two-tone grey and tan. The center console is not mounted and can be easily removed. The dash has a full array of Sport-Comp II Autometer gauges that include 160 MPH speedometer, volts, oil PSI, fuel, water and tachometer. Centerline wheels with Hoosier 31 x 16.5 tires on rear 165/80R15 tires on Billet Specialty front. Wildly successful show paint done in PPG 61303 Salmon envirobase with 33022 Sun Gold SEM Lightning FX pearl. The flames and splat paint are metallic with drop shadows. This beauty takes on a life of its own in the natural sunlight. The body and paint work done by famed Vavra Auto Body in Nooksack WA. To say this is a high-performance build is an understatement. The Speedster is a triumph of detail and design. The Studebaker has next-level power, and very comfortable road handling. This build gives the driver the spirit of a champion.
