what is the difference on a president 1956 and a president CLASSIC 1956

The Classic had four more inches in the wheelbase and a vent window added to the longer rear doors. Some trim was upgraded too. I heard that some of the Studebaker marketing folks, nicknamed the cheaper version the "Vice President". The name never officially stuck. It was probably the same folks that again proclaimed: "The merger between Studebaker and Packard, was like two drunks, trying to help one another across the street".

tanks for answer, but do you know what engine are in the president 259 or

289....i thinks on the classic president is a 289...

In 1956, any President had a 289.

The only President 259 was in 1955 for the President and President Speedster. Looking it up in the Cannon/Fox book on memory, all 289's have a P code except for the 259 President in 1955. If the engine has a C code after the V or P it is a Canada car.
