  • Hello

    Just joined this forum.

    My father purchased a new 1951 Champion in Chambersburg, PA.

    In 1956, then living in Lancaster County, PA, I found a 1952 Champion at the local Chevy dealer.
    The Champion had only 17,000 GENUINE miles on it, and was problem-free.
    I was about to start college, and persuaded my father to purchase it for me (cost $600).

    I used the Champion for over four years, until I replaced it with a "four-on-the-floor" English Austin Cambridge sedan
    (which I kept only one year because the engine ran 4000 rpm at 60 mph, which pained me to contemplate.)

    I always loved my Studebaker.

    Keep away from those British cars and buy another Studebaker.

      Don't listen to these snobs. I bought a 54 Austin A40 in the late 50's as a beater. Got 35 MPG. My 53 K was getting only 22. Still have 2 MGC's. And welcome to the forum.

            Austins were not bad cars at all. http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...ight=CAMBRIDGE

              Welcome. I have owned three British sports cars over the years and loved each one. My Studebakers have problems from time to time as did those three cars. Glad to have you with us.
