1950 Studebaker Champion

The new 3rd generation Champions were introduced in 1947, and were the first new postwar cars. The distinctive curved rear window (which way is it going?) was introduced at this time, and, on coupes, the rear window wrapped around all the way to the side windows. In 1950, the pointed, bullet nose front end was added, giving both the front and the rear distinctive design elements. All in all, an extremely interesting piece of 50s design, and it's rarer and rarer to see a unrestored driver like this one.

1965 Studebaker Commander

The Commander name was used on a variety of different Studebaker cars throughout the years, but was usually a mid-range model. For 1964, the last generation of the Commander, and the generation shown here, it was based on the Lark. Available for the Lark was a muscle car option called the Super Lark, which had high performance engines, including a supercharged one. This Commander is from the second to last year of Studebaker production, and exhibits period, hand painted, pin striping.
It is for sale in running, but not driving, shape for $950.
