(855) 827-3884 (855) 827-3884 Video 1951 Studebaker Champion 19148 Miles Green 2.8 I6 3-Speed Manual Exterior Color: Green Interior Color: Tan Transmission: 3-Speed Manual Engine: 2.8 I6 Mileage: 19,148 The GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1951 Studebaker Champion for your consideration. This Champion comes in a green paint job complemented by a tan interior. Powering this ride is a 2.8 Liter inline 6 paired to a manual three on the tree transmission. In 1947, Studebaker completely redesigned the Champion and the Commander, making them the first new cars after World War II. The styling included a new rear window, flat front fenders, as well as convenience features like backlight illumination for gauges and automatic courtesy lights. The Champion made up 65.08% of the total sales for the automaker in 1947. The 169.9 cu in (2.8 L) I6 engine produced 80 hp (60 kW; 81 PS) in 1947. In 1950, output was increased to 85 hp (63 kW; 86 PS). Also, new styling (new grille, sheet metal, and rear end) was introduced, as well as an automatic transmission. One of the new styling features on the cars was the wraparound, "greenhouse" rear window that was on 2-door, 5-passenger coupes from 1947–1951, at first just an option, in 1950 it was given its own trim line, the Starlight coupe. The "spinner" grille was introduced in 1950, similar to that of a 1949 Ford, but was dropped again for the 1952 model year.
The success of the Champion in 1939 was imperative to Studebaker"s survival following weak sales during the 1938 model year. Unlike most other cars, the Champion was designed from a "clean sheet", and had no restrictions caused by necessarily utilizing older parts or requiring the subsequent use of its components in heavier vehicles. Market research guided the selection of features, but a key principle adhered to was the engineering watchword "weight is the enemy." For its size, it was one of the lightest cars of its era. Its compact straight-six engine outlasted the model itself and was produced to the end of the 1964 model year, with a change to an OHV design in 1961.
The Champion was one of Studebaker"s best-selling models because of its low price (US $660 for the 2-door business coupe in 1939, equal to $12,131 today), durable engine, and styling. The car"s ponton styling was authored by industrial designer Raymond Loewy who had been under contract with Studebaker for the design of their automobiles. Champions won Mobilgas economy runs by posting the highest gas mileage tests. During World War II, Champions were coveted for their high mileage at a time when gas was rationed in the United States. From 1943–1945, the Champion engine was used as the powerplant for the Studebaker M29 Weasel personnel and cargo carrier, which also used four sets of the Champion"s leaf springs arranged transversely for its bogie suspension.
The Champion was phased out in 1958 in preparation for the introduction of the 1959 Studebaker Lark. Prior to this, Studebaker had been placed under receivership, and the company was attempting to return to a profitable position.
