1950 Studebaker Champion
Deluxe
Studebakers Best Year Ever
The critics and comedians had a field day making jokes about the new design of
the 1950 Studebaker. With its bullet-nose front, vertical fender-mounted
taillights and wrap-around rear window, this Raymond Loewy/Virgil Exner design
did look like its front and rear ends may have been switched. But the public
knew which way to go. 1950 was Studebaker’s best sales year ever, with over
320,000 cars sold. For the first time, their slogan that “Its 4 cars not 3 that
lead the lowest price field proved true.
