I was told by seller this is a 51. Others who have viewed the pics say 1950. I know the plate on the door jamb is not original.

We don't know where the number on that really lame serial number plate came from, but it does fit into the range of numbers for a 1950 Champion engine. Could be the original car serial number, but seems a little too high for that.Restorations by Skip TowneComment

Yes, Tim; that's simply a replacement tag of some sort. Definitely not Studebaker-issued or affixed.
