  • 1957/1958 models (single or dual)?

    Which of the 1957/58 models have single headlights versus the pod-look duals like the one below?



    I prefer the single headlight look on these big fin beasts. How about you?

    All 57's had the singles, and the 58 Presidents, Commanders, and maybe some high end Champions had the duals. I think...

    MANY more Studes in the family and a few parts cars

        All '58 cars had pods except the Scotsman and Hawks. Dual headlights were optional on the Champions, but they still had those crazy pods- don't know why... [?]
        Seems to me they woulda' looked tons better with the singlelight fender as on the Scotsman!!! Here's an example of what they shoulda' done~


        That's one good lookin' Commander by the way!!!

          There were NO Stude sedans built with the big fins and no-pod headlites up front.
