<h3>I finally brought home this '55 Deluxe Ultra Vista Champion Sedan that I bought in California a month or so ago. Fred Cook hauled it up to Olympia (he's leaving today from Olympia with his cousin for a couple of weeks of fishing in Alaska). I met him in Olympia and after a great lunch, loaded the car for the trip back to Bellingham (150 miles). Stopped in Stanwood and delivered a 2R seat for Fred.
This is really a beautiful little car. 95,000 mile original. Still has the Ben Beiger oil change stickers on the door jamb. (Ben Beiger was the Studebaker dealer in San Leandro, CA). It's been repainted the original Saginaw Green sometime in the past and has been reupholstered-not original, but a very nice job making for a real comfortable seat.
I really love the way it drives. With the first gear start auto, the around town acceleration is quite acceptable. The little 6 just purrrrrs. Steering is light and tight.
I've got some wide white walls waiting in the wings for it.
It has full wheel covers, but for some reason are the 1953 only tri-star ones. Anybody need these in trade for a set of the more generic '54-55 ones?</h3>
