1939 Studebaker President 4-Door Sedan
Not many left unrestored
60,067-Mile • All Original • Unrestored • Rust-Free Survivor
Offered for auction is an exceptionally well-preserved 1939 Studebaker President 4-Door Sedan, showing 60,067 miles.
This is a genuine unrestored survivor that has been preserved in remarkably original condition. The car has never been restored and still wears the accumulated dust of many years of storage and preservation.
That may sound unusual, but it tells an important story: what you see is the car as it was preserved—not a freshly detailed car prepared to look original.

An Authentic Survivor
The real attraction of this Studebaker is its originality.
It has not been taken apart and restored. It has not been repainted to recreate a “survivor” appearance. It has not been cosmetically dressed up to hide its history.
It has simply survived.
The car remains remarkably rust-free, retaining the character and authenticity that collectors of pre-war automobiles appreciate.
The straight-eight engine, standard transmission with overdrive, and original radio further add to the car’s appeal and period authenticity.
Preserved, Not Restored
One of the most interesting aspects of this President is its current presentation.
The car has not been washed since being removed from storage.
Years of dust remain on the automobile exactly as it accumulated during its long period of preservation. For the serious collector, this provides an unusual opportunity to acquire the car essentially as found, before any cosmetic cleaning or detailing takes place.
The new owner can decide whether to carefully preserve the car exactly as it sits, gently clean and recommission it, or undertake a more extensive preservation program.
Any questions please inquire.
Thank you
