This Studebaker is sitting in our garage. Just wondering if what model and year is it? Is it a 1936 President? Need help

ACOlds where are you?

Im from the Philippines

Not being a expert on prewar Studebakers but looks like 1936 as 1935 had cuts on front leading edge of front fenders car in has what looks like a torn fender on drivers side front fender passenger side looks straight. The car does have the Planar front suspension
If the body plate is still on firewall better way to determine year. Also measure the wheelbase

Hi

It's a 1936 Studebaker. Dictator sixes were 26,634 Series 3A with conventional front axle and 22,029 Series 4A with independent front suspension. All Dictator had a 218 c.i. straight six, 116" wheelbase

There were 7,297 President Eights, 250 c.i. straight eight, 125" wheelbase.

It's most likely a Dictator 3A, Studebaker had a very active export operation then.

Antique Studebaker enthusiast would love to have the parts if that car is being parted out, especially the prefect grille. Check The Antique Studebaker Club website.

Hope this helps.
