This 1930 FH Studebaker President Roadster
is the last example of its vintage known to be in
existence. The car was built in late 1930. It has a 125
inch wheelbase and a 336 cu. in. straight 8 engine that
delivers 115 horsepower. In 1929 a Studebaker Roadster,
similar to this one was the official
Indianapolis 500 pace car.

Some interesting features and options:
- Port and starboard "navigation lights" on the running boards
- Port and starboard "gem reflectors" on the headlights
- Sidemount spares, a rare $60 factory option
- Custom paint: the car was delivered primed but unpainted
to the dealer, who would have it painted any color
for $75
