Ok guys not sure if I am in the right section so if not please delete or send me to right place here. Needing to know if a 1955 Studebaker president is any good? Car is pretty clean but not sure if it's worth building or not. Thanks fellas!

Me personally I think it's a waste to derby a Studebaker. That would be something to fix up and cruise on the weekends but that's JMO

Hey all, long time lurker, fist time poster. I have a '57 studebaker hawk, which I believe is a very similar platform.....and I have always wondered the same lol. (No way in hell am I derbying mine)
If you do end up running it, the glass and trim off of that fetches a decent haul. I've seen that front bumper grab 500 plus in good shape at Studebaker meets.
It's sad as a Studebaker enthusiast to say this, but definitely post pics if you run it....I love seeing oddball derby cars

Something different and unusual would be a welcomed site at the derbies in my neck of the woods. Great to see people guessing and talking about different builds and ideas..def post some pics

Is it a 2 or 4 door? Man, you have my head smoking. Lol I love derbies and collect Studebakers. I'm not sure if I should be angry or intrigued.
I think there is a video on YouTube of a stude getting derbied. Can't recall what I searched to find it.

Pay no attention to the overdubbed German.

Ha cool video, thanks for sharing! But no, it was a fairly modern derby, I'll find it and post when I'm bored at work tomorrow. I'm glad to see some new fun on wecrash.
