The 55 Speedster I just got has one, but it's not listed on the build sheet.
I don't like the looks of it, so I might remove it. The car also has the
stainless trim around the wheel wells. Could it have been factory installed?
It was built in 10/55.

It could have been, but many were added later, many not the factory
style.

Is it the spotlight/mirror combo that's listed in the accessory brochure? If
so...what do you want for it?

When I bought my '53 K in '66 it had one of those combo spotlight-mirror
accessories on it. It was installed through the stainless vent window
frame. I thought (1), Studebaker couldn't have offered something that ugly,
and (2), that Studebaker couldn't have directed such a Mickey Mouse way to
install it. I took it off and threw it away. It turned out I was wrong on
both counts. Years later I found a NOS one and the instructions with it
showed installing it through the vent window frame on Ks. I kept it for
years and decided there was no way I was ever going to install it (still
thought it was ugly) so I sold it on ebay a few years ago.

Yes, it has the mirror combo. I haven't decided weather or not I'm going to
keep the car or sell it. If I decide to sell the spotlight I'll let you know.

Okay.
One was offered on eBay in the $90-100 range last week and failed to receive
any bids. The seller managed to sell it off-auction after the auction
closed. It was pitted badly and was missing the 'handle' and mounting
bracket.
