Any of you out there have any good advice, do's, don'ts, stay away from's....etc. on buying a 1950 Champian?
This will ultimately be a driver, not a garage queen.
Thanks
Mike

I agree. The 1950 is similar mechanically with my '41. I don't have overdrive and really don't feel comfortable pushing it over 45mph or so. The brakes, steering, safety features, and handling are just not up to daily driver standards. It is actually very tiring to drive for long periods.
That said it is a blast to drive and drive it I do! I just stick close to home and take back roads. Nothing beats loading the kids and the dog in the Champ into town for an ice cream run.

Thanks guys.
I'll be looking at it this weekend. Already have drivability changes in mind....not like I need another Stude project!

Have a look at this '51 2-dr sedan while you are at it....
