History
This car was originally assigned to Studebaker's Public Relations Office in
 NYC. And it is possible that it was used by the media, as I have an article
 of a car during that period that was driven to Sebring Raceway in Florida by
 a couple journalists. However, I can not confirm this.

The car was sold to the first registered owner in Texas in 1963. Original paperwork included with the car. The cars was registered in Texas for three
 years and then relocated to California. It was not registered in California.
 I purchased the car from the 2nd owner, who had the car for several months,
 and did not register it or perform any work on it.

Effectively, I am the 2nd registered owner.  I have had the car about three
 years.

Condition:
The car is in very good condition. It is not a 400-point concours show
 car. However, it could be converted into one
It is stock. It is in its original state, in that any parts that were 
replaced were  correct replacements, It hasn't been altered to my knowledge
 or by me other than using period correct, aftermarket wheels and tires.

The engine does have 87000 miles on it, based on the odometer reading. And 
it does run well. It does have the signs of that mileage, in that it uses a
 little oil. The valve seals have NOT been replaced, so that may clear that
 up. And it does mark its territory.

The Good:

The Bad:
If left sitting for a couple days, needs a prime to start, as the accelerator
 pump needs to be replaced. I will include a full carb kit, if requested.
The clock does not work
The vacuum gauge does not work. I haven't determined whether the gauge is bad 
or not, but I have a serviceable, nice looking one that will be included, if requested.
Front end should be rebuilt. It tracks well, drives well, doesn't wander. It
 does sometimes squeak. However, I will include a complete front-end rebuild
 kit originally purchased from Studebaker International ( $1000) if car is
 purchased for the Buy-it-Now price.

The Ugly:
The engine area needs to be detailed. I have all of the stainless steel 
ignition wire shielding, though it is not shown installed in the photos.
Bumpers have some pits.
The rear bumper left upright is rusted in the bottom. Not easily visible.
