  • '51 Champ - "Regal" parts list?

    I have a new (to me) '51 Champion 4-door. I just got the papers back from the Museum, and with help on another thread, I have now learned that it's a Regal.

    Since it's all original and complete (except for 2 wheel covers and possibly the radio), I've decide to restore it, rather than "rod" it. Not a Concours-style resto. I'm gonna drive it. But I'd like to be as true to its original styling and equipment as possible.

    Calling all bullet-nose Champion owners and experts! Can you help me put together a description list of what makes it a "Regal?" I have all the trim parts. But what about interior that I must redo, like upholstery type and quality? Door panels? Carpet? Or is there such a list already available somewhere?

    I know just who you need to talk to, but he's not 'online'. He is, however, an expert on '51's.

      A handy and cool thing for you to have would be the December 1985 edition of the SDC publication Turning Wheels. It's all about the 51 models. While it's NOT specific to each tiny detail, there's lots of good reference to it.
      Maybe someone on the forum has an extra copy or you might snag one off eaby too.

      No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.
