1932 Studebaker President State Sport Coupe

This is a 1932 Studebaker President Eight State Sport Coupe Series 91. The 1932 model year for Studebaker was a year of revisions as Studebaker faced financial problems. The new look included a slanted windshield and rounded body lines and the Series 91 featured a V-shaped radiator with a forward slope at the bottom. The car was powered by an eight-cylinder engine with a new synchromesh transmission with a silent second, vacuum-controlled spark advance, freewheeling in all forward gears, a new Startix automatic starter, and used the Automatic Ride Control an entirely new shock absorber.

This car's original owner sold the car to Phil Everly of the Everly brothers in 1970 and Southern California restorer Tom Sparks purchased the car the following year and eventually restored it. With his connection to Hollywood, Sparks leased the car to the studios and it appeared in a number of films. As it was maintained in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition over the years the car caught the eye of the current owner and made its way to Allentown, Pennsylvania.
