This is easier than arguing over which is the rarest.
The highest-production single Studebaker model in the company's automobile production history was the 1950 Champion W5 Regal DeLuxe 4-door sedan, of which 55,296 units were built...and we may presume sold, unless someone is aware of an NOS copy languishing on a Certificate of Origin somewhere.
As far as I can determine, it is the only single Studebaker model to have sold over 50,000 units.
I don't profess to have the knowledge (or a source thereof) to determine that figure if you want to include horse-drawn vehicles! BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

Clarify your question."Common" as: Still in existence, still on the road or more popular? 1950 was the year of highest production - and those bullet-nosed beauties of that year are plenty popular. I'd easily bet there's more '50s than around than there are Avantis.No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.
