Studebaker Sceptre Concept, 1963, by Brooks Stevens. A stylish coupe designed to compete with the Ford Thunderbird in the rapidly expanding Personal Luxury market. The prototype was built in Italy by Sibona-Bassano of Turin and featured a full-width front lightbar with a redesigned Studebaker emblem mounted in the centre of the bonnet. Inside there were gauges covered in transparent bubbles and a slide-rule speedometer floating above the dash. A glovebox with a large mirror could slide toward the front passenger. Facing imminent bankruptcy Studebaker lacked the resources to put the Sceptre into production.
