Our 1947 Champion has been used recently in two different movie shoots, one last month and one today. Both were done in an old warehouse in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The movies are of the film festival type, directed and made by individuals.
In the first, "Il Sole", the car was used just for a "through the windshield" shot of actors inside the car. Only a real expert could tell it is in a Studebaker rather than any other car of the era.
Today's movie is called "I Die Daily", and is set in 1947 in the fictional city of Elmsburg, Pennsylvania. It is a story of Russian gangsters who move to the United States after World War 2. Near the end of the movie, the car appears prominently in several scenes. While there is violence in the scenes, "no Studebakers were harmed in either movie".
