After a few days of tinkering with the 55 president this is what the outside looks like, this is rust free and as good as they come after 57 years.

'Looks really nice, Bob. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

The smooth curve of the '53-55 deck lid is quite different from the smoothly squared off '64 deck lid. If you saw them side-by-side, you'd easily see the difference.

I think it's real nice the way it is, slightly naughty!
But I wonder what brand the wheels are, does it say anything on them? If so, what inner-diameter would the fitting hubcaps be?
I fancy the ofset bigtime & it would be cool to know if there's such wheels (preferably 15 inch) that the small pretty Studebaker hubcaps would fit.

Spent some time in the trunk today , cleaning off old black paint that was put over the original color, most came off ok leaving these pictures , dark spots are surface rust only, also put on a couple of good lenses, one picture of some bubbling starting at lower driver side at trunk edge.
