Introducing: Studebaker President Salon for 1964

Lets see....where have a seen a GT frame and drive train....and a last generation Cruiser....oh, and the money to bring such a great idea to reality......?

It sure looks a lot more appealing than most offerings in the marketplace. I'd buy one but then it looks expensive. Just showed the picture renderings to my wife. She loves it. We're in! Now where's the nearest dealer around here?

Being on the Hawk chassis I guess it would have been narrower than the contemporary luxury cars. That could have been a good thing for some people. The main problem would be that Studebaker production was always too low to have a good price break. It would have been a beautiful addition to the line though.

Wow that car is cool! It looks like a Studebaker, but reminds me of Lincoln. It's a great concept and very well drawn. If only Studebaker did make a car like this.. it could have completely changed their image.

I love these renderings! Although many of the lines scream Studebaker, if I was management I would have pushed for (wrongly) a return of Packard. Then it would have failed for just that reason even though Cadillac/Chevrolet, Ford/Lincoln & Plymouth/Imperials at this time all sharing body parts and styling cues with corporate resemblance. It would have been another bad marketing choice. Studebaker President Salon it is! Like the power train choice. "304" would have made a huge marketing advantage over "289". Size mattered back then! Great job. I love "what if" scenarios. Like to see more of this. Very professional looking. I will keep coming back to view.

Imperials shared no body panels or structure with any other Chrysler Corporation car in 1964, unlike Cadillac. This was a selling point pointed out in brochures and ads.
