The early 1950s were great for bright chrome, whitewalls, and wraparound rear glass. And the car companies were also discovering the beauty of the hardtop coupe body style. So when you combine that with the rarity of a 1952 Studebaker Champion, you get something irresistible. For perspective, Ford sold nearly three times more of the more expensive Victoria coupes than all of Studebaker's hardtops in 1952. And we doubt you'll find a finer surviving example of a Champion hardtop than this one. We're making this bold proclamation because the strong motor, authentic interior, and glossy two-tone paint combine to deliver a time capsule feeling that also loves to cruise.
HIGHLIGHTS *Cream white paint has a good gloss to highlight all the curves of the 1950s sheet metal *Mushroom tan is a nice harmonizing tone that brings added attention to the roof *Classic Studebaker chrome hubcaps *Classic whitewall tires *Highly authentic and comfy interior *Inline-six motor (appears to be the correct 170 cubic-inch unit) *Column-shifted three-speed manual transmission *Wilwood brake master cylinder *Upgraded front disc brakes *Owner's manual
Owning a highly authentic Studebaker is one of the genuinely great collectibles for instant respect and attention. It's the kind of car where you're likely not parking next to a coupe, just like it at a car show, and therefore, people are going to ask you often to attend their event just because of how seldom they are seen. So this Studebaker is fun for very vintage Sunday drives and will likely give you plenty of weekend destinations. So if you want to get people talking about your car this weekend, call today!
