Anyone help with the history on this 35 roadster? It was built in 1956 in Evansville, IN. Also I need one of the wheel covers in the second photo and wondered if you guys could ID it. Thanks for all your help, Dale.

'55 Studebaker. I have a "driver quality" one somewhere in my shop.

As usual, "tubman" is spot-on!

Regarding the Wheel Covers on this 1935 Ford Roadster, it is hard to tell exactly what year they are. If these Wheel Cover have three small "dimples" like in the above photo, they are 1953 Studebaker. If they are completely smooth, they are 1954/1955 as identified by tubman & V8COOPMAN

The "MERCMAN" is right. I never knew there was a variation with the three dimples. And sure enough, the picture below seems to show a dimple just after 3 o'clock, and likely another at about 10 o'clock.

That's just a reflection they are the smooth ones. I would like one the spare. Tubman I will PM you. Thanks everyone for your help.

If you need a 53 Studebaker hub cap with the 3 dimples, I have one.
Couple of small dents.

Thanks Steve but I need the wheel cover without the dimples. I thought sure someone would know something about this car being built so long ago! The photo is the only one I have and I think it is from the early 60's but it pretty much looks the same now. Thanks for everyone's help.
