Two President models are offered, the Model 82 at 125 inch wheelbase, five inches shorter then the 1931 Model 80, and the Model 92 at the same 135 inches as the 1932 Model 91.  The Model 82 used the smaller Commander Eight with a displacement of 250.4 cubic inches and making 110 HP.  This engine featured a downdraft manifold and automatic spark advance.  In the depth of the depression few buyers could be found and only slightly less then 1,200 model 82’s were made.  The model 92 President Speedway series would use the 337 cubic inch engine for the last time and it was now making 132 HP at 3,400 RPM.  Only 635 units were produced, making it one of the most rare Studebaker models and only a handful still exist.  New features for 1933 included Bendix B-K vacuum boosted power brakes, automatic choke, automatic manifold heat control, and downdraft carburetor.
