Studillac

Studillac

The Studillac was a car made by combining a Cadillac engine with a hard-top Studebaker Starliner from 1953 to 1955. This was one of very few changes made to the cars. From year to year, the only real changes were those made by Cadillac in their engines and Studebaker in their full cars. The Studillac was always about $1500 more than its stock Studebaker cousins. One of very few options available was a Dual-Range Hydra-Matic transmission, which could be ordered for an additional $500. It featured prominently in Ian Fleming's fourth James Bond novel, Diamonds Are Forever, as Felix Leiter's car.
