This page is devoted to the 1955 studebaker Stiletto.  This is a hand built one-of-a-kind Fiberglass Bodied car built in Colorado, that has just been acquired and returned to its home state of Colorado. The car is presently in very poor condition.  It will be restored and transformed in to the gold car, with the exception of the lower front-end corners, which will be similar to the red car.  Revisit this page to follow the restoration of this unique car.
