The Appeal
Isn't it incredible to think this car is now 105 years old?!
For those in search of a pre-war motor car to use and improve, this 1920 Studebaker has everything going for it. A highly presentable four-seat tourer, this car has been upgraded with a more modern four-cylinder Ford engine, greatly enhancing its usability. We're informed that it drives very well, and while the brakes could use some work, it offers an excellent basis for a rolling restoration.
The Studebaker would make an excellent wedding car, or else, it would be just the thing for touring the countryside.
