---In the '51 Mobilgas Economy Run, the Studebaker Champion's actual gas mileage* was 2 ½ to 6 miles per gallon better than that of the entries of the three other largest selling cars in the low price field. [*Studebaker overdrive, optional, at extra cost, was used.]---



Get more mileage per gallon! Get a Studebaker Champion!



I had one for a winter car back in the late 1960s. Not a thing wrong with it. Fantastic leg room in rear seat. always started in sub-freezing Boston winter. I have a 13 year older one now as my DD, but there's no winter here.
