The Stunning XF58 « Ice Princess » Custom – 1950 Studebaker and 1960 Cadillac Mix
Emporio Efikz
Built in 1987 by Richard Fletcher, at first as a sedan, it ended up as this 6-wheeled, 20-foot-long space ship looking ride. The manufacturer’s plan was to create a concept car as if it had been designed by Studebaker stylists in the 1950s. He called it the XF58.
The body was mainly hand-formed using the sheet metal from the Studebaker and a 1960 Cadillac. A later Cad model also provided the engine for the 500 ci.
In 2018, it was sold at Russo & Steele’s auction in Scottsdale, AZ, for $38,500.
