Launching into the essence of mid-century automotive design, this 1950 Studebaker Champion emerges as a gleaming beacon of innovation with its bullet-nose front end. This feature would become an icon of the Studebaker lineage. Coated in an almost Wimbledon white hue, its silhouette whispers tales of the era's aviation fascination, with the entire body poised as if ready for takeoff. Its stance, fortified by 15" wheels shod in 6.70-15 tires, articulates a readiness to conquer the boulevards and byways alike. Among its exterior adornments, a visor adds a touch of sophistication. The ensemble of chrome trim proudly frames this Studebaker's visage, accentuating its historic demeanor.
Venturing inside, the gray hues that blanket the cabin, from the vinyl and cloth bench seats to the dash and door panels, suggest an ambiance that is both inviting and reflective. The array of handles, knobs, and switches arrayed across the dashboard presents a tableau of functionality and charm. This scene is somewhat quieted by the silence of the AM radio that needs a little service, yet it adds to the Champion's allure, inviting the enthusiast to imbue it with new life.
This classic Studebaker features a dependable inline-6 engine, a common sight in its day. It works with a 3-speed manual transmission with an overdrive for relaxed cruising. The electrical system is 6-volt, updated with an 8-volt battery for reliable starting. This Champion rides on a suspension system with control arms and coil springs in the front, while leaf springs with shocks support the rear. Drum brakes provide stopping power, and a vintage floor starter button adds a touch of old-school charm.
