Description:

This 1952 Studebaker Champion Starlight coupe features a wraparound rear window and is finished in blue over striped tan cloth upholstery. Power is supplied by a 170ci inline-six paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Other features include wheel covers, whitewall tires, chrome bumpers and trim, a clock, a heater, and an AM radio. The carburetor was rebuilt in preparation for the sale.

Interior:

The front and rear bench seats are trimmed in corded tan cloth upholstery. Interior appointments consist of a split-folding front seat, a heater, integrated rear armrests, and a Studebaker-branded AM radio. Paint blemishes and a crack are visible on the steering column, and stains are evident on the door panels and the headliner. Water stains are also noted in the trunk. The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts an analog clock, a 100-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 69k miles, true mileage is unknown.

Exterior:

The final model year for the third-generation Champion was 1952, and this example was repainted blue under previous ownership. Exterior details include chrome-finished bumpers and trim, dual side mirrors, a wraparound rear window, vent windows, front fender vents, rear fender skirts, and a polished exhaust outlet. The driver's window glass is cracked, a scratch is present on the driver-side quarter panel, and rust is noted on the window trim.

Drivetrain:

The 170ci side-valve inline-six was rated at 85 horsepower when new. A six-volt electrical system is retained, and a starter solenoid has been added. We rebuilt the carburetor, replaced the accelerator pump, and changed the oil in preparation for the sale. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Blue-painted 15″ steel wheels wear Studebaker-logo covers and are mounted with Remington Cushion Aire Poly 4 whitewall tires, although the right-front tire has been replaced with a Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall. Braking is provided by four-wheel drums.
