When you’ve got a car named President, you know that it’s going to be something special, and you’re right. The Studebaker President was the top-tier model from this iconic American brand from 1926 to 1942, and again between 1955 and 1958. It was a full-size car with everything the well-heeled car buyer of the time could expect. Four generations of President were made, and today’s 1955 Studebaker President is from the last generation. It’s an all-original car with up-to-date servicing, and it’s engine was reportedly rebuilt in 1982. So, if you’re on the hunt for a classic American automobile but something that doesn’t immediately fall upon the radar of the majority of collectors, this car awaits your consideration in Tacoma, Washington.
Wearing a beautiful Pimlico Gray Metallic suit, this 1955 Studebaker President looks every bit as regal and graceful as the name suggests. This particular car is a two-door coupe, but the range was also made in sedan, hardtop and station wagon forms. We feel that the coupe is the most elegant, with its sleek sloping rear quarters and wrap-around rear windshield adding an air of panache to what is already a very stylish car. Furthermore, you’ll no doubt have noticed the car’s two-tone theme, actually let’s call it three-tone thanks to the white roof. Few cars can pull off multiple color tones; this one does it to perfection. We’re told that the car has stock wheels and wears new tires, and you’ve also got six wire wheel-style hupcaps. The interior of this 1955 Studebaker President is said to be new, and comes with diamond-stitched leather for its seating. Four adults can easily travel within the confines of this car’s passenger cabin, and they’ll enjoy features such as padded and upholstered arm rests, plenty of light and air, lap belts for safety, and a push-button radio. The floor mats are in a fetching shade of red too.
This 1955 Studebaker President is powered by a 259ci V8, driving the rear wheels through a three-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. The current owner says that the car has power brakes and power steering as well, making it surprisingly easy to drive.

The Studebakers President was initially produced from 1926 to 1942 in their home of South Bend, Indiana. After over a decade of absence, the President was reintroduced and continued its reign until 1958, when the model was finally retired. This, the fourth-generation Studebaker President, made a comeback in 1955 and was a new and improved version of its predecessors. However, the most noteworthy President was the speedster trim, such as the one in the example. This 1955 president coupe currently resides in Florida with just 65,000 miles to its name.
The 1964 Studebaker Challenger was the entry-level midsize model in the South Bend automaker’s lineup, offering understated styling and dependable mechanicals at an affordable price. Today, it represents a rare sight on American roads, appealing to collectors of orphan brands and enthusiasts of mid-century design. This example, finished in blue over a matching blue interior, has been repainted in its original color and is reported to remain largely original, preserving the authenticity that makes it special.
Studebakers are among the more under-appreciated classics of the 1940s and 50s. With distinctive styling and fewer survivors than their counterparts from the “Big 3”, a classic Studebaker is a very desirable car to own. The Champion was produced from 1939 to 1958 across 5 generations. The 3rd generation (1947-52) was the last full-size Champion (the later models were mid-sized). It was available as either a 2- or 4-door sedan, a 2-door convertible or a 2-door coupe (the station wagon version never made it past the prototype stage) and captured the market well, accounting for over 65% of Studebaker sales in its first year.
Chevy’s midsize contender from 1964 to 1977, the Chevelle was one of GM’s most popular A-body models. Three generations were made, and buyers could pick from various body styles. Today, we have a third-generation 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Station Wagon for sale from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As you might notice, this car has undergone a full custom build. We’re told that it’s been refurbished by Luce Customs and has covered just 1,204 miles since then. With its modern V8, custom sound system, and overall clean appearance, it’s a great restomod to acquire.
Nothing beats the experience of cruising around town in a classic first-generation Ford Mustang Convertible. Imagine what buyers must have felt like back then? Ford’s hit pony car was literally flying off the showroom floors. For the first full production year, 1965, Ford sold over half a million! This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible is one of them, and it’s now available to purchase in Jacksonville, Florida. With just under 40,000 miles, this pony packs a nice 302 under the hood, paired with power steering and a front disc brake conversion for better stopping prowess.
The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro represents the pinnacle of first-generation Camaro design, and this example stands out as a true X55-coded Super Sport, not a later badge addition or clone. Factory SS cars are increasingly difficult to find, especially examples that retain their numbers-matching engine, transmission, and rear drivetrain, making this Camaro particularly appealing to collectors seeking authenticity over modification. This car is further distinguished by its inclusion of original documentation, including the Protect-O-Plate, original dealer window sticker, and owner’s manual, all of which reinforce its provenance and long-term collectibility. Extensive professional work has been completed to preserve and refine the car, resulting in a turn-key classic that delivers an experience faithful to how a genuine Super Sport was meant to be enjoyed.
