When Richard Straub bought this 1950 Studebaker Champion 7 or 8 years ago, it looked nothing like it does today. He restored the car, if not to its original glory, to something that garners a LOT of attention. The paint color he chose was not a Studebaker finish, but one Ford used in 1956 for the T-Bird called "Fiesta Red". The car is powered by an engine that came out of a Chevrolet police cruiser and the front seats are from a Pontiac. Richard says Studebaker manufactured only 2,350 Champions that year, so it's unlikely many are still around - certainly none as unique as this one!
