Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2005Anyone know where I can acquire a pair of Speedster scuff plates?
Are the scuff plates for a Speedster different than the other 55 coupes? Thanks for any/all leads. Regards, Jim No they are not, and SI has them. > Are the scuff plates for a Speedster different than the other 55 coupes? > Thanks for any/all leads. > Regards, > Jim  SignatureJP/Maryland Studebaker On the Net http://stude.com My Ebay items:http://www.stude.com/EBAY/ 64 T cab truck 64 R2 4 speed Challenger (Plain Wrapper) 64 Challenger (Plain Wrapper ?) 63 R2 4 speed GT Hawk 63 GT Hawk 54 Starlight but, do they fit & look authentic?

I was able to make them work, and I am told that the newer ones have been corrected for better fit. Once installed they looked fine, although the lettering/dots appeared to be etched in whereas they appeared to have been stamped on the original. Font, etc. was the same but the texture was a little different. Don't know if that has been changed on the newer versions or not. nate > but, do they fit & look authentic? > Nos ones recently went for big bux on ebay...

The repros available were thicker etched stainless compared to the original stamped units. They dont fit as well, yes, but newer repros have just come available that are also stamped like the originals. They are markedly more pricey and I have never attempted to fit a pair. They are available thru Studebaker International. What did they go for? I think that I have a set acquired in the early 1970's...
