Hemmings Find of the Day – 1950 Studebaker Champion

Restyled for the 1950 model year with a new “bullet nose” and vertical taillamps, the Studebaker Champion was a sensible choice as a second vehicle for families living in the wilds of suburbia. As an entry-level car, few survived the ravages of being passed down to generations of first-time drivers, which makes this 1950 Studebaker Champion for sale on Hemmings.com something of a rarity. Said to be a rust-free example with a mere 60,400 miles showing on the odometer, this Champion sports a rebuilt carburetor and fuel pump, meaning it should deliver the full factory-rated 85 horsepower from its 169.6-cu.in. inline six-cylinder engine. From the seller’s description:

Bullet Nose, 4 suicide doors, 60,400 original miles, with the following improvements, Studebaker crest on hood, recent re-paint in factory Midnight Blue, right front fender, re-chromed front bumper, 5 Cooper radial tires, new glass and rubber in windshield and front doors, new windlace, rebuilt carburetor and fuel pump, starts immediately, runs perfectly, no rust, no mechanical issues
