The 1950s Studebaker Champion holds a special place in the hearts of car enthusiasts for a multitude of reasons. Whether you’re a seasoned hot rodder, a passionate racer, or simply appreciate classic style, there’s something undeniably appealing about these iconic vehicles.

Built for Speed and Style:

Aerodynamic Advantage: The Champion’s sleek, sloping design wasn’t just for aesthetics. It offered a distinct aerodynamic advantage, making it a favorite among racers seeking to push the limits on the track.
V8 Power Potential: Under that distinctive hood lies the potential for housing a powerful V8 engine, transforming the Champion into a true performance machine. This combination of form and function is a major draw for hot rodders looking to create unique and exhilarating rides.

Under The Skin:

For street rodders, the appeal of the Studebaker Champion is historic. These cars possess a certain undeniable coolness factor, with their timeless design and distinctive character. This particular car has been fitted with a modern front suspension and Flaming River electric power steering. Disc brakes and custom wheels add to the road-going capability, while a Demon carburetor-topped small block Chevy V8 provides the power. Vintage Air A/C keeps everyone cool inside.
