1956 Studebaker President Sedan with 289 V 8

You are bidding on Studebaker's top of the line sedan called the President.

This car has a V 8 with 4 barrel carburetor and automatic transmission.

We received this beautiful car from the previous owner. who after being blind (unable to drive) held it for a number of years. wanted to find a home for it.

The engine is a very strong factory replacement block with no serial #'s stamped on it and runs like a very fast 289. It always starts easily. doesn't smoke and performs great.

The transmission was said to be rebuilt and shifts up and down perfectly.

Headliner is nice.

It has a wonderful dual exhaust and the front end and steering are nice and tight.

Electrical lighting all works good.
