Dunno if this link will work anywhere but AOL but this AM, this was on there: http://money.aol.com/special/30-thin...ould-come-back
It's # 6 of 32.
Studebaker
"AOL User Leetalk68 Says: "I am old but my second car was a used 1955 Studebaker and it would do 105 in second and a hundred in third with overdrive."
AOL User DRP76 Says:"Amen. We owned a '52 Champion when I was learning to drive. Lots of ahead-of-its-time features."
With a pic of a really red 32 convertible.
But getting back to my point...would ANY '55 REALLY go 105 in second? Even with OD?
Musta been interesting.

Sure. Second overdrive is almost like straight third, as far as a ratio. It would be screaming, but it could have been done...with a 224 or 259 V-8, that is...I wouldn't want to push a new, longer-stroke 185 Victory Six to those RPMs![:0][
