Matching the best of both worlds can be tough and that’s exactly what Studebaker was tasked with. How can one couple an American personality with European styling cues? This 1962 Studebaker Gran Turismo TT Edition is sure an example of the company’s design brilliance. The exterior of the car is finished off in black which surprisingly brings out all its curves and elements. The nickel exterior equipment can be hard to find considering the rarity of these cars, but you won’t find that issue as every single exterior component is in place and in great condition. The body, trunk and floor of the car is reported to be solid with the seller stating that the paint is starting to spider on the passenger side rear quarter. There are many ways to match a black exterior, but nothing does it better than a red interior. This car sports a matching red leather interior and includes an abundance of nickel which is in great shape. The original floor carpets are also present in the car. The air conditioner is located smack in the middle of the car and serves as a way to cool down on a hot summer day drive. The AM radio is reported to be functional as well.
Under the hood of this 1962 Studebaker Gran Turismo TT Edition, one will find a 289ci V8 engine that sends 225hp to the rear wheels via a 2-speed automatic gearbox and Positraction rear end, as it’s a TT edition (Twin Traction). The performance was sufficient for a Grand Tourer, gaining speed gracefully rather than ostentatiously.

Studebaker is one of those legendary American automakers that’s long gone but never forgotten. Our automotive history is full of brands that gave us iconic machines—cars that still stir emotion decades later in a way modern tech-focused brands may never match. Today’s vehicles are fast and advanced, but will they inspire the same connection fifty years from now? Will they even survive that long? Classic cars were built with longevity, soul, and mechanical simplicity, not planned obsolescence. That’s why a seventy-two-year-old build like this 1953 Studebaker Commander Pro Street build still exists—and still turns heads. Based out of Hiawatha, Iowa, this restomod has been transformed into a true street-strip performer, featuring a massive LS6 V8 with the current owner reporting just under 700 miles since completion. It’s a striking custom that’s ready for its next run.
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.
