The Studebaker Champion was produced from the 1939 model year until 1958. It was a full-size car in its first three generations and a mid-size car in its fourth and fifth generation models. The base engine was a 2.8-liter inline 6 making 85 horsepower. 1950 marked the first year Studebaker offered an automatic transmission. This third-generation 1951 Champion convertible was discovered in a New Mexico salvage yard.
