For the first time since 1928, Studebaker would offer only one Model in the President line, the Model 91, running on a one inch shorter chassis then the Model 90 of 1931, at 135 inches.  Again the visor is eliminated and the windshield further slanted.   The radiator grill is more wedge-shaped and sloped at the bottom.  Standard wheels are ten-spoke, 18 inch, steel artillery type, while wire wheels are optional.  New mechanical features include the Startix automatic starting system, a syncro-mesh transmission, and single plate clutch replaces the old duel set up.  The engine is now mounted on rubber at all four points, requiring the clutch and brake petals to be mounted to the frame instead of the clutch housing.  A vacuum-controlled spark advance is also introduced.  Houdaille shock absorbers are introduced as well.  Two new body styles are available, the St. Regis Brougham and the Convertible Sedan.  The Tourer is dropped from the line up.

When data was available from Turning Wheels (TW) or Studebaker the Complete Story (STCS), it is used.  Else, The Classic Car Database (TCCD) & The Standard Catalog of American Cars (SCAC) is used.
→Information between the arrows is from “This is a Studebaker Year Vol. 3 by Bill Cannon←
What we can be fairly sure of is that the same body styles, depending on the source, were sometimes listed in different terms.  SB=South Bend, LA=Los Angles, and CAN=Canada

→The 1932 91 Series President started production sometime in November 1931.  It finished production sometime in the fall of 1932. Studebaker assigned 2,400 SB serial numbers and 50 and CAN serial number to the 91 series.  Engine Serial Numbers, P-10,001  to P-12,500 for series 91 cars.  Most of the data in the chart is from Cannon’s This is a Studebaker Year Vol. 3←.  Cannon did not provide production numbers, however 91 series serial numbers would suggest production of 2,450 cars and TCCD and SCAC reported production at 2,399.  The prices for series 91 cars come from TCCD & SCAC in two seperate columns as there was considerable differences.  TCCD did not list the State St. Regis Brougham or a State Sedan 7-pass.
