Well, that did not take long. '51 Studebaker Champion
Your problem is the UHH has a bunch of old foggies who remember those things. When my my '54 Buick blew the engine in February of my sophomore year of college (1965) I got a 49 Studebaker for $35 from the local salvage yard to finish the school year. Hey, it ran and beat walking 26 miles from my Grandmother's farm to the college. The exhaust leaked and I had to drive with the windows down in the coldest winter in Western Kentucky for over 20 years. The first day before I found the exhaust came in through a hole in the floor and was sucked in by the heater I got a real bad case of hallucinations from breathing that stuff. The rest of the semester, windows down, heater off and dress like Nanook of the North for the drive to school and home.

My parents had a 1950 Studebaker, so I recognized it right away. My father worked at the Studebaker plant in South Bend, Indiana for the last 24 years of that the company was operating. I still have some of the memorabilia from the company's 100th year celebration.

It was a line from the Guys and Dolls musical. Nicely Nicely Johnson says “I hope you get stabbed by a Studebaker”.

took about 2 seconds. It's so much easier to identify a car from the 50's or 60's than it is to identify a car from the past 20 years or so. The newer ones all look alike, and basically are interchangeable. Today getting a new car is about as exciting as getting a new stove!
