I'm wanting my next car to be a 50' or 51' four door champion automatic, so I have a few questions about their reliability and problems often associated with them. Most all cars have some problems that are common with each particular model. Like one particular motor may be bad about oil leaks or dropping valves. Some car models are notorious about overheating or failing brakes. The Pinto's problem was blowing up when rear ended. What are some of the common problems associated with the 50-51 Studebaker i6 automatic Champions? I am wanting a stock Champion or as close as i can get to restored to factory specs. I know many of you will cuss me, but I'm wanting to use it as a daily driver and need to know what kind of problems I can expect. Should I blow off thoughts of original and find one with newer/better engine and or drive train? What are the most common problems? Are they dependable automobiles?
Thanks,
