Years ago, I saw a similar color/paint scheme on a car for sale in Landrum, SC, which for the region, isn't all that far from where this pic was taken. Back then, the car I saw, was in the hands of a "wheeler/dealer" used car salesman who had put a ridiculous price on the car, and in conversation, revealed he really knew very little about Studebaker. I don't think this is the same car though. I believe the car I saw was an early finned Hawk.
Because of the rig this car is sitting on, I'm thinking it might be on a "hauler" delivering it to a new home. Perhaps the driver decided to make a stop at the nearby Cherokee casino. Hope he keeps enough money to finish the trip.John Clary

I don't know the car but a fellow from here in California just moved to NC and I think it was Franklin and he builds race cars out of 53-54 coupes and the last 2 I had went to him the first was the 54 commander and right now just got a check for the 53 champion so will be getting it off soon. I don't think Franklin is very big so the car might be his.Candbstudebakers

Was for sale at Bill Wisemans in Marion, NC a year or so back. I THINK it was a 55 but it has been a while since I looked at it. Seems it was small block Chevy powered. Nice custom. If I didnt post pics here I have them at home. Stevesigpic

My son said the car was at a small car lot, so he will check to see if it's still there. It does look nice, I like the color and paint scheme.
Keep repeating: I don't need another Studebaker, I don't need another Studebaker, I don't need another Studebaker...................
My wife keeps repeating: You don't have room for another Studebaker, you don't have room for another Studebaker.........
