My 4th grade teacher drove one of these to school. It was her daily driver. Mrs Howell . My favorite teacher of all time. . Her husband was in Vietnam at the time. She would stay after school and tutor me and then take me to my grandmother’s in her old Studebaker . She was a sweetheart. . ☮️❤️

My first car was a 1950 Studebaker Champion. It was a flathead 6 with overdrive and got fantastic gas mileage. Several times we had 8 people in it. We would drive down the rural roads and collect pop bottles for their two cent redemption and use the money to buy gas.
