1948 was a good year for Studebaker. Production of 1948 Champions was as follows:
South Bend: 74018
Los Angeles: 11283
Knocked down and crated for export: 618
Canada: 2001
Total: 87,920
I don't think anyone has ever gone through the records to calculate how many of each model were produced, but maybe someone will come forward with that info. It would require going through all 87,920 Champion production orders (if they're available) by hand and noting their body style. That has been done for such limited production models as Avantis and those built with R-series engines, but I don't think it has been done for more common models.

I think that it is noteworthy that 10.1% of Champion production was convertibles. (9.6% of all 1948 model year production was convertibls.)
