Vehicle Description
Here's exactly everything you want in a vintage pickup. This 1956
Studebaker was stylish when new, and there has been a ton invested
to make it quite unique today. Plus, underneath the attractive
style is a custom A/C interior, precision balanced Chevy small
block crate power plant, and plenty of other upgrades that make
this an award-worthy total package.With 40 distinctive "wins"
including, Peoples Choice Awards, Best in Class, Best Pen Stripe,
Best Truck, Top 10 awards, and many others.
Showing up in a Studebaker pickup is already an experience. After
all, the fellas from South Bend produced far less than the Detroit
guys. This outsider prospective allowed them to be more aware of
styling, and helped in building some of the best-looking trucks on
the road. The curvy cab, sculpted rear fenders, and upright box
have a sturdy and stylish appeal like a pair of designer jeans -
and this one goes even further on the flair scale. The creamy paint
has plenty of pearl added to the mix to make sure it radiates in
the sunlight. There's the right amount of brightwork on the front
bumper, bezels, and wheels to give this the right classic American
look, but that's not the part that will really have people talking.
Instead, this truck is for a lover of details. The pinstriping
really steals the show with the orange and brown expertly
interwoven on the hood, the sides of the bed, and wrapping around
the entire cab. Plus, you have cool custom murals on the rear
window and tailgate. And as you dig deeper, you're going to see
great classic elements like a real wood truck bed and side slats.
They mix nicely with well-integrated modern upgrades like the
cab-mounted third brake light and LED taillights. So it's a total
package that really showcase how every inch of this build was done
with care.
Inside is a full custom setup done with style. You'll love all the
detail, like how the glovebox matches the wood in the bed, the
gearshift knob matches the glovebox handle, and there's hint of the
exterior's custom pinstriping the middle of the dash. That same
pinstriping color is also the basis for the custom Studebaker
stitching on the seat. This has all the best comfort features,
including power windows, and AM/FM/CD stereo, and air conditioning.
Plus, when was the last time you've seen a '50s classic with a full
push-button system for its functions - including the starter?! You
get a leather-wrapped Lecarra sports steering wheel, and beyond
that the full digital gauge package is another reminder that this
is a thoroughly upgraded truck.
The custom interior and exterior make this stellar, but it's the
engine bay that really lets you understand why this has already won
so many awards. After all, they saved the best mural for under the
hood! Plus, the smooth color-matched walls and hood funnel all your
attention to a tidy and shining V8. But more than just a looker,
this is a powerful setup with a 350 cubic-inch motor topped with an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and performance intake. And it has
neatly-integrated supporting components like the dual electric fans
and the teapot that's actually the radiator reservoir. While
there's only about 1,800 miles on the build, we know you won't be
able resist adding to the odometer as you take this one to more car
shows. And it's easy to do with great driving features like power
steering, front disc brakes, and a three-speed automatic
transmission.
Thoughtfully built custom machines like this rarely leave their
creator's hands. So this Studebaker is a fleeting chance at true
distinction. Call today!!!
