The Studebaker President, once a shining star in the automotive firmament, has dimmed over time. Introduced in 1926 as a replacement for the Big Six, it swiftly ascended to the ranks of premium automobiles. Initially equipped with a straight-six engine, the President later adopted a more potent straight eight powerplant. The nameplate benefited significantly from Studebaker’s acquisition of Pierce Arrow, incorporating advancements in engineering and design. By 1933, the President boasted one of the most advanced straight-eight engines available, setting numerous land speed records and challenging the dominance of more expensive marques like Cadillac, Packard, and Lincoln.
