Condition
6
While the description highlights several upgrades and customizations, it also mentions the car requires reconditioning. The presence of modifications like the replacement dashboard and Fat Man front clip suggests deviations from the original factory condition, impacting its 'Pristine' or 'Outstanding' rating. Although the engine build is described in detail, the overall condition is 'Good'.

• Iconic example of 1950s American automotive styling • Specially prepared Chrysler Hemi V8 engine • Four-speed manual gearbox • Present ownership since 2019 "Probably the outstanding American automotive design of the '50s, certainly one of the all-time greats." - Richard M Langworth, Complete Book Of Collectible Cars .
In receivership in 1933, Studebaker had been revitalised by 1939 and in May 1946 became the first major American manufacturer to announce an all-new design with the introduction of its 1947 range.
Created by two of the greatest automobile stylists of all time - Raymond Loewy and Virgil Exner - the sensational new Studebakers featured a straight-through front wing line, lowered bonnets and, in the case of the Starlight coupé, an astonishing wrap-around rear window.
For 1950 the company introduced another landmark of automotive styling in the form of the 'Bullet Nose' Studebakers that had clearly been influenced by the coming of the 'Jet Age'.
