An initial run of twenty Speedsters was made to be displayed at car shows for the 1955 model year.[5][6] Reaction to the show cars caused Studebaker's management to put the car into production mid-year and offer it for the rest of the model year,[5] after which it was replaced by the previously planned Hawk series.[1][2] Its sloped front and reverse angle rear window shows similarities to the Citroen DS also introduced in 1955, and allowed the company to offer a competitor to the Ford Thunderbird and the Chevrolet Corvette.

Power came from Studebaker's nd 258 pound-feet (350 N⋅m) of torque.[4]

The Speedster's list price started at $3,346,[1] or about $800 more than a base 1955 President State hardtop. The reason was the 1955 President Speedster was loaded with standard equipment including: choice of Studebaker Automatic Drive or overdrive transmissions, power steering, power brakes, four-barrel carburetor, dual exhaust, "Shoemaker-stitched" diamond-quilted genuine top-grain leather seating, carpeting front and rear, a map pocket (but no glove box) an eight-tube push-button radio, an engine-turned dashboard with a Stewart-Warner 160 mph (260 km/h) speedometer and an 8,000 rpm tachometer, turn signals, electric clock, tinted glass, cigarette lighter, oil filter and oil bath air cleaner, dual backup lamps, triple horns, two-speed electric wipers,[3] tubeless whitewall tires, simulated wire wheel covers[5][3] and fog-light bumperettes.[3][4]

There was also Speedster-specific trim including a hood-length hood ornament,[3] stainless roof band,[1] Speedster nameplates and checkered emblems as well as chrome-plated ashtrays, rear-view mirror, moldings and tailpipe extensions.[3] They also came in 2- and 3-tone paint jobs,[6] the most famous of which was Hialeah Green & Sun Valley Yellow, called "lemon/lime" by the public.[5][6] The green was a gold flake metallic.

Studebaker produced 2,215 Speedsters during the 1955 model
