Neat car! You can tell the write-up's done by a non-Stude sort.
"The appraiser said this - the appraiser said that....." Bunch of floo-fla to justify his appraisal fees!
I should print up some business cards, make up a resume of my years involved with the old car realm and start giving appraisals.[}]

I was wondering if that car was still around.
A fun ride in a Hawk of unknown vintage when I was about 10 was the thing that got me interested in Studebakers in the first place but it was probably that very movie car that restored my interest many years later. I know it had a hand in getting Studebakers added to my "life Gee-I-Always-Wanted-One-Of-Those list".

They should have left it the bright red like it was in the movie. Looks good dark though. I thought that Mr. Magoo's car was a Commander though. Guess not.

Memory is a funny thing. I remember it being as-is in the movie.

If 'we' buy it, we can store it at my shop, next to our 51 coupe. Althoug it would make the coupe look bad. Sure would be cool to have a bulletvertible around.

I hadn't heard of him selling the car, and it surprised the heck out of me one day, when I was in Vancouver, and saw it parked on the road in front of one of the mega-mansions on Southwest Marine Drive (district comparable to Beverly Hills, market-wise). Later, I learned about the sale and use of the car for the Mr. Magoo movie.
If anybody here is interested in the car, be assured it is indeed a VERY nice, correctly-restored Champion. No way is it an old beater just gussied up for the movie, at least as long as it is in fact THE movie car, and not an impostor.
