1955 STUDEBAKER PRESIDENT SPEEDSTER
In 1955 Studebaker introduced a new top-of-the-line model, the President Speedster. This was a one-year-only special edition model and only 2,215 were made.
Packard equipped it so that most Studebaker options were standard for this model. The factory ad for the new Speedster proclaimed it as “lightning on wheels, styled for action, powered for thrills”.
The new “Passmaster” V-8 engine had a four-barrel carburetor, dual exhaust and 45 more horsepower than the earlier model Studebaker V-8. The interior is enhanced with diamond quilted leather, and included a seat belt option.
