1955 Studebaker President Restored & Upgraded, Chevy 350 V8, Jaguar Suspension
If you're looking for a classic that blends vintage style with modern performance, this 1955 Studebaker President is the perfect mix of both. With a complete frame-off restoration from 2011-2014 and extensive upgrades since, this is a turn-key, road-ready cruiser with a Chevy 350ci/330hp engine, GM 700R4 automatic transmission, and Jaguar XJS independent suspension front and rear.
Key Features & Upgrades:
High-Performance Drivetrain: Chevy 350ci V8 (installed 2018), paired with a 700R4 automatic transmission featuring a B&M lockout controller. At 70 mph in 4th lockout, the engine runs at a comfortable 2,100 RPM.

New front & rear shocks (Viking adjustable coil-overs in rear)
New front & rear rotors, wheel bearings, and u-joints
New steering rack and front coil springs
Performance & Handling Upgrades:
Power steering with new rack (2019)
Four-wheel disc brakes (not power-assisted)
American Torque Thrust wheels (including spare)
UniRoyal Tiger Paw 216/65R 15 tires (installed 2022)
Exterior & Interior Enhancements:
Paint and upholstery were redone as part of the restoration
Wood-rimmed steering wheel (2018) and tilt steering column
Custom faux wood dash & console paneling (2019)
Power windows
Southern Air A/C system (2019)
Other Notable Upgrades:
Champion 3-row aluminum radiator (2021) for reliable cooling
Chrome ram's horn exhaust manifolds (2021) swapped from headers for quieter operation
New windshield & rear window (2022)
Two-speed wiper motor (2018)
Lokar shifter (2018)
Known Quirks:
The e-brake is currently non-functional.
The electric seats were swapped to manual rails.
History & Mileage:
Frame-off restoration completed 2014 (documentation & photos available)
Purchased in 2017 with ~1,800 miles; now has ~19,000 miles (~17k miles added)
Inspected before purchase rust-free with inspection reports
This Studebaker President is a one-of-a-kind classic that's been well-maintained and thoughtfully upgraded for reliability and performance. Whether you're looking for a unique weekend cruiser or a show-ready street machine, this car is ready to roll.
