Take a look at the 55 coupe V8 3 speed OD That I will be listing on ebay for

no rust AZ car all the chrome has been done and it looks great. I would like
feedback on what you guys think it will bring. The owner and I are unsure
what to put the reserve at.All feedback is appreciated. Thanks

Damn that is a nice car.  Were the fog lights on the build sheet?
that's about my only quibble with the car, I think it would look much
nicer without them.  I love the color, is that a factory color?

I think the color is a Honda color. I don't have a build sheet for it but I
am with you I don't care for the fog lights.

Let me know what you think of this description of the 55
Anything I should ad or make more clear?
Jerry

This is a sharp 1955 Studebaker Commander Coupe

in beautiful, deep Metallic Green with a metallic Gray Top.

Under the hood there's a 224 Cubic inch V8 engine and 4 barrel Carburetor
with a 3 speed overdrive transmission.

This is an original Arizona rust-free car with non-original paint and
interior fabrics.  Other than a few very small paint chips (see picture
link), the body is flawless. No Bondo or body fillers can be detected
anywhere on this car! This '55 runs and drives as great as it looks.

Totally restored about 5-6 years ago, and in storage for the last 5 years,
it sports all flawless re-plated chrome, new rubber weather strips, new
headliner, plush seat inserts with vinyl backs, paint and chocolate brown
carpeting.  All of the interior has been refurbished.  The shiny, chrome
dash immediately catches your eye with its original gauges, working AM push
button radio and non-working clock.  It comes with Duel Exhaust, Hill
Holder, and near-new wide white tires mounted before the car went into
storage.  Chrome fog lights, a rare option, adorn the front bumper.   It's a
beautiful, Arizona driver and totally rust-free.

Looks good.  Might change duel to dual.  Ad info about miles?

Might add something like " The reserve is about what the paint and
replating bill alone would be on a lesser car and well under both NADA
book and the restoration cost."
