1955 Studebaker President State Series Speedster Hardtop

    The 1955 Speedster was Studebaker's first step towards a sporty car. It was based on the Studebaker President - which re-entered the 1955 line-up after a 13-year absence.

    Standard equipment on the Studebaker Speedster included almost every optional item for the President model. Special quilted-pattern leather and vinyl upholstery and a tooled-metal appliqué instrument panel comprised of white-on-black instruments. Interestingly, all Speedsters built in the South Bend plant had 'Speedster' moldings on the quarter panels, while those built in Los Angeles had both 'President' and 'Speedster' designations.

    The Speedster was powered by the small-block V-8 that was modified to a high-performance level. It was bored out to 260 cubic inches from 225 cubic inches and developed 185 horsepower-45 horsepower more than the early Studebaker V8! The 1955 Speedster was at the top of the Studebaker's price line-up, costing $3,252 new.
