1934 Studebaker President Regal Sedan

1934 marked a transitional period between the elegant and stately lines of the early classic era and the streamlined vogue of the Great Depression. In March of 1933, the Studebaker Corporation entered receivership due to the economic hardships of the time. Corporate Executive Paul Hoffman introduced the all-new 1934 models to save the corporation. Exactly two years later, the company emerged from near bankruptcy, in no small part due to the sales success of the 1934 model year automobiles.

This is a Regal model featuring an integrated trunk and side-mounted spares. It is powered by a 250 cubic-inch eight-cylinder engine that produces 110 horsepower. It also features a free-wheeling transmission along with a vacuum-boosted brake system produced by Bendix. This Full Classic Studebaker President was donated to the Studebaker Museum by Mr. & Mrs. Little of Kingsport, Tennessee.
