George H. W. Bush – $21.5K, 1947 Studebaker

When George H. W. Bush was a young man in the ’40s, he had a sleek, bright-colored little Studebaker. The Studebaker factory in Indiana released the 1947 model cars in 1946. Its engine was an ‘L’ head with six cylinders, 94hp, and a manual gearbox with three speeds. His car’s suspension and chassis had a different design to make it more comfortable. We don’t know how much it cost him then, but if you do some online shopping today, Bush’s 1947 Studebaker in great condition can be purchased for about $21.5K. His original car is being displayed at George Bush Presidential Library and Museum.
