1935 Studebaker Model 2A Dictator Phaeton.  Believed to be the only example know to exist in the United States.-----------------The 1935 Studebaker emphasized more improved engineering and technology than styling change. The Planer independent front suspension was introduced on the Dictator Series 2A to provide a "Miracle Ride". Vacuum hydraulic brakes, overdrive free-wheeling, radio speaker provision in the headliner above the front windscreen, and the "Hill Holder" which locked the brakes when the driver depressed the clutch, were all new in this year.  The Studebaker Dictator Series 2A offered here was shipped as a bare chassis to Australia where it was fitted with a right hand drive Phaeton body with side curtains. Studebaker commonly sent their cars to Australia as a bare chassis as it reduced overall shipping weight and space and served as a practical means to avoid damage to the body in trainsit. The Phaeton body was never built in North America and few, if any, would have been imported back to the United States making this car more than likely the only one of its kind in North America. When this car was returned to the United States it was converted to left hand drive and was totally restored to new condition inside and out. The burgundy paint shows well as does the tan interior. This being the only know example of its kind in North America,and in such fine condition, this studebaker is exceptionally desirable, and would be the centerpiece of any Studebaker collection.
