Look at this picture of a Chevy 8 years newer than the Studebaker, and the Studebaker still looks better than the newer car. Goes to show just how much ahead of their time Studebaker was.

These are models. The modeler/photographer is quite well known and his work has appeared in this thread many times.

First 'non production' side grilles I've seen that look pretty good!....The painted headlamp bezels seem to 'work' also

This is in Greenville, NC in 1955. The vehicles are loaded with tobacco that has been brought to auction. Yes there is a Studebaker in this picture.

The optional spoke wheelcovers with BLACKWALL tires......Talk about 'period correct'!!!!

To me they look very similar to the ones Bob Bourke used on his '55 prototype, I believe they'd qualify as "non production" and a relatively early example? The painted headlight bezels, would be more appealing to me if the originals had been used. Although my preference will always be the chrome, I'd very much Love to have any car that looks like that!
