Just look at this rear window. It doesn’t even look real. Imagine if they could have made it with one piece of glass.

Raymond Loewy design- a real classic.

I think the body style was called a Starlight coupe, and could be had in either humdrum Champion or boss Commander trim.

Much swag. You could go to Home Depot and change them out with the seasons.

Supposedly, Studebaker had wavered between front engine and rear engine for a while (this car was designed when the Tucker was still being hyped in the press), and the giant trunk was supposed to have been able to accommodate either configuration without having to clean sheet the whole body. Might be urban legend though.

That would explain the 6 foot long trunk lol.

Well technically you could say it has 3 c-pillars I suppose.

Not exactly for this model, they were outsourcing a smaller rear engined model to Porsche. Try googling Studebaker Porsche or Porsche project 542.
