Someday... My Champ will be this FINE!!!! jims53 could you answer a question for me? My trim around the "wind-wings" and "fifth windows" is painted black, yours are chrome. What is correct? Mine is one of the last 500 made in L.A. (14G-C3).

The C3 means the Deluxe model, which has the black. A C5 means Regal, which has the chrome.

Thank you "raoul5788"! Now I know. But, through my reading, I was led to believe that a Regal (C5) had the chrome around the side windows too? Where can I find the info., that you have, on these part number differences?

Thanks

OOPS! Should've read the rules! Will use the GD forum to continue... sorry.

Bad Boy!

I noticed your signature picture in another post. You have a beautiful looking Studebaker.
The black looks great.

Occasionally I have to look this picture up and hope my 53 looks this good one day.

A picture of a '53 or '54 always makes my day even if I have seen it before.

I know that exact feeling!
