What a rare treat to see so many Studebakers in one place. All of the cars are absolutely gorgeous! As a Studebaker fan and previous owner of a Lark, watching this video was like being overdosed on Studebakers. What a way to go!
Those are nice but they can be updated and modified to compete with some of the newest performance cars available today and win with Studebaker style. Just look at how they completely dominate the La corrara Americana in Mexico. Not to mention they still make records on the salt flat. They are so sleek long and low it’s hard to see how any vehicle could out perform them when it comes to over all road ability. The 53 through 61 champion coupe that is. I’m outfitting mine with a 4.0 turbo charged ford Barra. Very reliable and drivable 750+ hp.
I understand the studebaker was popular in Australia,- one of your top police tv shows had them as detectives cars.- Id imagine with all studebakers rust problems ( theyre nearly extinct here in new england) that Australias drier climate must have made them last much longer.
Everybody wants the big three classics. Why? The unique cars like Studebaker are more interesting. The others are too common. BTW, Studebaker R1, R2 engined cars were muscle cars before Mustangs, Camaros, GTO, Barracuda existed, not to mention the Avanti.
Ive had a 55 champion, and a 65 cruiser.....my uncle had a 53 and a 63...id love to offer a fiberglass 53-55 body kit, as it could be expanded to hawks and gt hawks...although as a pet project, the 47-52 would be sweet as a follow up.
