Vehicle Description
This 1955 Studebaker is a radical custom nicknamed "The Spoiler."
Over $80,000 and over 2,000 man-hours were invested in the build,
with documentation and build photos included. It was a feature car
in Studebaker Driver's Club Magazine "Turning Wheels" in December
2017. It's powered by a fuel-injected LT1 5.7-liter V8 engine
coupled to a 4L60E automatic overdrive transmission, and is
equipped with a Ford 9" rear end, 4-wheel disc brakes, Fat Man
front end with rack & pinion power steering, adjustable air-ride
suspension and 17" Weld wheels. An enormous amount of steel and
fabrication work was performed to create the one-of-a-kind
4-passenger sport-truck-style body, which sports '54 Studebaker
sheet metal and chrome trim, and custom paint and pinstripes from
top to bottom. The interior features leather bucket seats, power
driver's seat, custom console and door panels constructed with
aluminum bases, tilt steering column, custom one-of-a-kind dash
with Pontiac gauge cluster, auto-darkening rearview mirror, Ron
Francis wiring and an AM/FM radio.
