"1955 Studebaker Speedster"

Studebaker Speedster was an automobile produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana produced only during the 1955 model year. The vehicle is considered Studebaker’s Halo model for the 1955 season. Studebaker had previously used the Speedster name in the early 1920s.

The Speedster was a member of the Studebaker President series, and was based on Studebaker’s President hardtop coupe. For 1955, the company heavily restyled its models to incorporate a larger front bumper and a massive chrome grille more in keeping with American cars of the era. Speedsters also received special two- and three-tone paint jobs, unique leather upholstery, wire wheel covers, and an engine-turned instrument panel with a tachometer and full instrumentation.
