This is a rare and remarkable piece of automotive history - a 1934 Studebaker Deluxe Dictator Six. This antique vehicle is a true survivor, retaining all its originality and boasting a mileage of just 65,000. With only three owners since its purchase in 1934, this Studebaker is a testament to its enduring quality and timeless appeal.
The exterior exhibits its original Blue Bruce paint, complemented by black fenders. Despite its age, the body remains solid and straight, free from any rust issues. The paint, now 90 years old, exhibits a charming patina that adds to its authenticity as a survivor car. The chrome accents have aged gracefully, and the original glass showcases its vintage character. Completing the look are the original Budd steel spoke wheels, a testament to the craftsmanship of the era.
The interior has remarkably withstood the test of time. The dash is in excellent condition, and a NOS headliner will be included with the sale. Noteworthy features include a hidden curtain for the rear window, a convenient pocket in the rear door panels, and a well-preserved woodgrain trim around the windows. The steering wheel and floor shifter knob are also in great shape, further enhancing the vintage charm of this Studebaker.
Under the hood, you'll find the original 6-cylinder L-head engine, boasting 205.3 cubic inches of power. Paired with the Helical 3-speed manual transmission, this Studebaker delivers a smooth and reliable driving experience. The carburetor is a single draft Stromberg, and the ignition system utilizes a distributor and coil. Notably, this car features the Startix automatic engine starting mechanism, ensuring easy starts even in cold or stalled conditions.
While many buyers may be tempted to restore this Studebaker, it truly is a shame to alter its originality.
