only question I can answer is the wheels, they are 14x5.5" with about
7/8" offset. I had a pair, but sold them a while back. If it had the
optional 15" wheels they would be 15x5" with about 1-1/8" offset. (I
think I got that right; if you look in the parts book there are so many
darn wheels that I hope I was measuring the right ones!)

As for the doors I think you will find the tops have more height on
the wagon.the sedan roof slopes down and wagons continue straight to
the back for head room.

SASCO had a lot of odd parts for those cars, you might want to try
them. While I don't have a parts book covering a '58, I did get the
striker plates off the back doors of a '57-58 Scotsman at Jack's Auto
Ranch, in Watertown, WI. http://www.jacksautoranch.com/ The bumpers
were there too. The wheels were still on a '58 Hawk when I was there
last. Hopefully they are the correct 14". They had 3-4 dozen
Studebakers in the yard, both cars and trucks. On a WI map look for
Concord. An underpass on the west side of town will take you
underneath I94. Then make a right turn, heading east a bit. Say HI
to your parents.

Chris,

I may have some useable taillight housings and a decent rear bumper. I
also have some lenses and odds and ends. Where are you located? George.

Just checked parts: bumper is good for 57 or 58, lenses and housings
are only 57, one eye brow drivers chrome for 58. If you're interested?
