Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1950 Studebaker Pickup for purchase. Studebaker had a motto coming out of WWII as American factories returned to automotive production to beat the rest of domestic production to market with advances even stating, "First by far with a post-war car". South Bend's 2R series of trucks rolled out as 1949 models looking decades more advanced than the trucks they replaced-the dowdy but historically significant M series. The M was Studebaker's first crack at a dedicated light truck; all previous attempts had been passenger cars with cargo beds (like all manufacturers at the time). Right up until the end of production, the M was a breadwinner for South Bend-in 1947, the company built 23,377 M5s, surpassing the total of all motorized commercial vehicles produced by Studebaker during the years before World War II. The new generation of truck had the tall task of being attractive with forward looks and high/reliable performance.
This 1950 Studebaker 2R Pickup comes out of Arkansas originally and has been in the same family for decades. It's powered by the Flathead inline six cylinder engine paired with the 3-speed manual transmission. This truck went through a restoration that included new tires, new exhaust, new carpet, new plugs, new rear universal joint, new wires, and new paint. We have the original title and documentation on this awesome classic example. This is a rarely found classic truck with a great body ready for its next owner! Please call or email for more details!
