  • 49 STUDEBAKER VIN TAG

    CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY ON MY 49 2 DOOR SEDAN CHAMPION HAS SPANISH WRITTE ON THE VIN TAG IN THE DRIVERS DOOR ARE THEY ALL LIKE THAT OR WAS THIS CAR INTENDED TO BE SOLD IN MEXICO?
    THANKS JIM

    You might have a rare one. If the Vin is in Spanish it's very possible it was made for Mexico. Where did you find it? If you have the Studebaker Vin send it to the Studebaker museum and see the history on it. It should be interesting.

      Actually, it could have been assembled in Mexico - or some other spanish-speaking country where there was a satellite assembly plant.


      1957 Transtar 1/2ton
      1963 Cruiser
      1960 Larkvertible V8
      1958 Provincial wagon
      1953 Commander coupe
      1957 President two door

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

          There were 166 1949 two door sedans made for export (not necessarily to Spanish speaking countries). I don't know why all are assuming Mexico. There are a LOT of other Spanish language countries. The build sheet should show where it was initially destined for.

            The owner forgot to press one before buying it
