Available for bid is a 1957 STUDEBAKER PRESIDENT CLASSIC 4 DOOR SEDAN - Same owner for the last 25 years.
This Studebaker was purchased in Michigan and was originally from Texas.
I have partially restored the vehicle as outlined below in the description. I believe that I am the 4th owner of the vehicle.
Approximately 4000 1957 Studebaker President Classics were produced and they are becoming increasingly more rare. Here is your opportunity to obtain a fine solid example for your collection and or continued restoration.
I drove this vehicle in the Detroit area's famous Woodward Dream Cruise from 1995 to 2011 and would like to share it with another Studebaker fan.

My restoration activities from 1992 - 1995 included (Body Off Frame):

CHASSIS

ELECTRICAL
New tires and front-end alignment 1998
The vehicle condition today : Needs body work and new paint. Please note: Because die-casting chrome pieces back then where not the best quality (gaseous), some chrome has pitting and shorter life expectancy. Most of the new parts I purchased from Studebaker in South Bend have deteriorated and show pitting from age. My car has only been driven in good weather, and to events in my area and has less than 1000 miles on it since 1992. When I purchased the vehicle in the early 1990s, the speedometer showed 58k and was broken. I replaced the speedometer which worked for a short time but does not work currently (the odometer does work, however, the speed dial is stuck around 50 mph). The vehicle has a second radio installed in the glovebox, the original radio is not currentlyworking. Additionally, the clock on the dash is not working. The right rear lower trunk area and outer quarter panel show Bondo work. The rear door on drivers side has a cracked window and the windshield has a small crack on the passenger side lower wrap around area. The under-the-seat heater has been bypassed because of a small leak. The front and rear seats were upgraded to newer velour power seats and newer seat belts were also installed. Both the seats and the belts were from a Buick Regal.
Due to the age of the tires I highly suggest a trailer or tow-bar for transport to its new home.
