Notes
This Studebaker President Sedan model has a distinctive shade of light blue with royal blue tail fins, and white knobbly tyres. Original silver detailing at the bodylines.
A handsome car, but what really sets this particular example out from all the rest is the mid-blue cast wheels. This particular version would usually have either cream cast or shaped spun wheels. These vivid blue wheels are more often found on the yellow and blue version. One of a very small run?
This is a First for QDT!
Bright base.
Occasional tiny mark to the paint finish.
The correctly-spotted pictorial box is complete and bright. Light surface grubbiness and a small internal end flap seam tear.
