The 1931 President Four Seasons Roadster with the "Speedway" option was identifiable by its RED chassis and underbody components. More here: https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/forum/your-studebaker-forum/general-studebaker-specific-discussion/29712-more-eye-candy-12-16-prewar Craig

This site provides some excellent information on these cars: https://www.newcadillacdatabase.org/static/CDB/Dbas_txt/eld_stor.htm Craig

One of my cabinets with scale models inside. Craig

Who was the COACHBUILDER (which I believe is the same) for these two different makes of cars? Craig

Aside from the top, that Woods Mobilette hasn't changed ONE BIT since 1961 or 2! Even the placement of the AACA badge is in the same location!! (I believe the color shift might be natural light vs. indoor lighting.) Craig

Not so much the Shop Manuals, but many of the Chassis Parts catalogs often provide excellent illustrations of RHD componentry. And the Body Catalogs will provide part numbers for any interior component that is unique to RHD vehicles. Keep in mind, there are OTHER interesting items besides where the steering wheel is that are unique to certain countries. For example, Australia specified AMBER rear turn signal lenses, which will make the rear wiring harness special for that particular market, just to name one difference. (Check out the Australian-assembled '63 Lark in Post #26 here-----> https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/forum/your-studebaker-forum/general-studebaker-specific-discussion/1823041-old-pictures-of-you-and-your-car-where-did-all-that-hair-go/page2 ) Craig

I posted photos of a RHD 1939 Commander here--------> https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/forum/your-studebaker-forum/general-studebaker-specific-discussion/47733-39-40s-lets-see-em/page3 Craig

Then that clearly tells us its a Club Sedan. Previous to your reply, it was 50/50 with you stating what it was originally intended for. Craig

Even though I'm not fluent in French, I still bought this book for the excellent photographs and line drawings within. https://www.boutiquestm.com/en/livre-100-ans-de-bus-a-montreal.html It appears Montreal had a rather extensive fleet of prewar and postwar Brill city transit buses. Craig

There are a few other Studebakers out there being debated as being 'factory', including this 1957 Golden Hawk 400. https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/forum/your-studebaker-forum/general-studebaker-specific-discussion/91881-also-a-new-1957-golden-hawk-owner-but-a-400-hope-so Craig

The only car I can think of that may have exceeded them in the 1960's was the Mercedes Benz 600. Other cars from Europe that came close were Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and most likely, the Zil and Chaika. Craig

When I see one I like that's rare or unusual, and ALREADY BUILT, I'll buy it. No more unassembled kits for me! I'm too busy in the garage assembling the real (and eventually, drivable) things. Craig

Reportedly, Hitler never personally owned a car, although he was always seen being chauffeured around in one. According to this book, they were all property of the German Motor Pool government fleet. https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/the-devils-mercedes-the-bizarre/9781250069726-item.html?ikwid=devils+mercedes&ikwsec=Home&ikwidx=0 Craig

Hard to tell in the photos, but it appears the door windows have metal frames around them; which is characteristic of military vehicles. Craig

From what one can see in the photo, it is a 1960 Ford Fairlane two door Club Sedan, or it could be a Business Sedan, if it doesn't have a rear seat. Craig

Now that is just NICE!! Craig

Which zone is Canada? K? or X? Craig

I would have photographed that Continental on the carpet below, which appears to be the same color. Here's a REAL one in this same color: Craig

Arguably, that area has the most favorable climate for preserving cars, and I can see a handful of 1930's cars still surviving in SD twenty years later as daily drivers. Here, and in the salt belt, cars would never last that long. Not counting vintage car shows, the only 1930's cars seen on the streets in the 1960's was the odd Hot Rod or two driving around during the summer months. Craig

REMEMBER WHEN...... that special Friday evening and all day Saturday sometime in September the (once) Big Three had their New Car introductions? And the showroom windows were often papered over the day previous and earlier in the day on Friday while they were rolling their next-year's models inside and had the big, gala event for everyone, with free pop, and most important, the BROCHUURES? Damn! I miss those days!! Craig

If this car is actually a home-built conversion from two different cars, someone sure took an incredible amount of time to make it appear like a factory offering to the point where everyone is speculating what it really is at present. On the other hand, if it was made by a little-known local body builder, it would be a shame to alter it to a 'stock' President body and then find that out afterwards. Craig

When I saw the zoom-in after, I then concluded it was not, but I chose not to delete it after seeing the one favorable response to the link. Craig

From the May, 1997 Cars & Parts magazine: It is clearly RHD in the photo.
