Studebaker Champion Bullet Nose '51

The Studebaker Champion, with its distinctive “Bullet Nose” front, is one of the most recognizable American designs of the early 1950s. This 1951 example underwent an older professional restoration and today presents itself as an elegant classic that combines the very best of American styling and engineering.
