Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this 1960
Studebaker Champ Pickup. This is one you will not see every day.
The Studebaker Champ was a light-duty pickup truck produced by the
Studebaker Corporation from 1960-1964. The chassis and cargo box of
the Champ were basically the same as what had been used for
Studebaker's � and �-ton trucks since 1949, but the cab section was
very different. An entirely new cab was out of the question because
of cost considerations, but the new Lark compact car's body proved
to be just the right size and shape to suit the purpose. The
engineering staff took a four-door sedan, cut it in half behind the
front doors and modified the front half slightly to fit the truck
chassis. The only new Sheetmetal stamping that was required was the
back wall of the new cab. Minor modifications for mounting of the
cab to the 1949-vintage truck frame were also made. The Lark's
front end Sheetmetal was retained as well, but funds were allocated
to give the Champ a new horizontal-bar grille that delivered a
"tougher" look. Powered by a 6 Cylinder engine. A wide variety of
transmissions, both manual and automatic, were available in Champs.
Base models came with a three-speed column shifted manual (AKA: 3
on the tree) and that's what this one has. Today, the Champs that
still exist are highly prized for their interesting combination of
passenger-car comfort and style and their rugged mechanical
durability Options for this 1960 Studebaker Champ include; AM
