Vehicle Description
Here's a unique 1951 Studebaker Champion Starlite Coupe with
upgrades and updates for driveability, appearance, and performance,
and it's now available from the MaxMotive Pittsburgh Showroom. It
sports the ultimate in reliability drivetrains starting with a 350
small block V8 engine that has been fortified with an Edelbrock
4-barrel carb on an Edelbrock aluminum intake. Exhaust exits via
coated headers and the engine is dressed with polished valve covers
and a chrome air cleaner. A Champion aluminum radiator also adds to
the dependability factor. A Turbo 350 automatic transmission and
Ford 9-inch rear are also there for the long haul. The paint is a
creamy white with light green pearl flames that fade in and out
along with hand-painted pinstriping. The door handles were shaved
and door poppers added. The wheels are polished 5-spoke aluminum
alloy units for a period-correct look. A light green cloth interior
is roomy and comfortable and features a tilt steering wheel, tach,
hidden auxiliary gauges, and an AM/FM/CD receiver. Handling is
enhanced via a Mustang II front end with power rack & pinion
steering and Wilwood power front disc brakes. And of course,
there's the distinctive wrap-around rear window where the
"Starlite" derives its name. This 1951 Studebaker Champion Starlite
Coupe has an old-school hot rod feel with just the right upgrades
to make it a dependable and enjoyable cruising machine. Be sure to
