When Tracy first started looking for a new Studebaker, she almost ended up with this President instead of George.
This is a '56 President, and we are amazed as much by the similarities between this '56 and our '57 (George) as we are by the differences. Since we are still learning about this model and these years, we are not sure which features were standard and which were options (and better yet, which were just modifications over time?). We especially like the horn button on this '56.
The floor mats were pretty awesome, too. John was convinced for awhile that this had to be a REAL presidential vehicle (as in, "Can someone take Mr. Eisenhower to the store, please?"). Well, not really, but he was all set to attach flags to the front of the car and join a motorcade!
Here's the outside of the car. This President was awesome, but had some title issues that we were afraid to take on. Hopefully it has moved on to a suitably appreciative home.
