For Sale: 1952 Studebaker Champ in Kentwood, Michigan

GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this 1952 Studebaker Champion Starlight finished in Light Blue over an original Grey cloth interior with red striping. This car is instantly recognizable thanks to its one of a kind wraparound rear window design, often compared to a railroad observation car or even inspired by aircraft like the P38 Lightning. The sweeping glass and pillarless rear design give it a futuristic look that still feels unique today. The light blue paint pairs beautifully with blue steel wheels, chrome hub caps, whitewall tires, and bright chrome bumpers, creating a true early 1950s American classic presence.

Power comes from a 4.3L Chevrolet V6 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission, offering a more modern and reliable driving experience compared to its original setup. Recent maintenance includes a new starter, alternator, master cylinder, radiator, accelerator cable, and new tires, helping ensure the car is ready to be driven and enjoyed. This thoughtful drivetrain upgrade makes the car more usable while still maintaining its vintage charm.

Inside, the car retains its original interior, featuring grey cloth with red striping that complements the exterior nicely. The cabin showcases the unique design elements that made Studebaker stand out during this era, with excellent visibility thanks to the expansive rear glass. Sunpro gauges have been installed to provide more detailed engine information while driving, blending functionality with a subtle period correct feel.

The 1952 model year marked an important time for Studebaker as the company celebrated its centennial, and the Champion Starlight stood as one of its most innovative designs. These cars have become increasingly appreciated for their bold styling and forward thinking engineering. This example, coming out of Oregon and benefiting from key mechanical updates, offers a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive piece of American automotive history that is both eye catching and enjoyable to drive.
