1950 Studebaker Champion Regal Deluxe
Bullet Nose Convertible
2nd Owner - Low Miles - California Car
Studebaker manufactured the prized Bullet Nose automobiles for only 2 years and 1950 was the first year. This low mile, two-owner Champion Regal Deluxe Convertible is a fine example that has been part of the huge Goat Hill Automobile Collection of Southern California for over 20 years.
This wonderful Studebaker was manufactured on July 20, 1950 and purchased new for $2,437.37 on August 2, 1950 from Mathis Motor Company according to the Studebaker build sheet, original purchase order and sales invoice that are all included with the car. (A 1941 Buick Special Convertible was traded in for $300 at the time of purchase.)
The California title/registration documents show that the car was first registered 1950 with a transfer of ownership in 1995. (We are also including 28 previous California registration cards/slips for this car.) In March of 1995, when the car was transferred to the current owners, the previous owner stated that his family was the original owners and that this car had only 52,000 miles on it.
This car still has the original engine (#728094) as evidenced by the build sheet, original sales invoice and registrations. We have a service receipt showing that a valve job and clutch adjustment were performed on November 14, 1986. On October 23, 1993 brake work was done along with a new water pump and lubing the speedometer cable and head. At that time 51,825 miles were reflected on the repair order.
The car starts, runs, drives and shows very well. At some point in the past, the car was completely painted and the interior was redone including the convertible top.

Power convertible top with split glass rear window
