Used 1960 Studebaker Champ for sale in Lake Mary, Florida
Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this 1960 Studebaker Champ Pickup. This is one you will not see every day. The Studebaker Champ was a light-duty pickup truck produced by the Studebaker Corporation from 1960-1964. The chassis and cargo box of the Champ were basically the same as what had been used for Studebakers ½ and ¾-ton trucks since 1949, but the cab section was very different. An entirely new cab was out of the question because of cost considerations, but the new Lark compact cars body proved to be just the right size and shape to suit the purpose. The engineering staff took a four-door sedan, cut it in half behind the front doors and modified the front half slightly to fit the truck chassis. The only new Sheetmetal stamping that was required was the back wall of the new cab. Minor modifications for mounting of the cab to the 1949-vintage truck frame were also made. The Larks front end Sheetmetal was retained as well, but funds were allocated to give the Champ a new horizontal-bar grille that delivered a tougher look. Powered by a 6 Cylinder engine. A wide variety of transmissions, both manual and automatic, were available in Champs. Base models came with a three-speed column shifted manual (AKA: 3 on the tree) and that’s what this one has. Today, the Champs that still exist are highly prized for their interesting combination of passenger-car comfort and style and their rugged mechanical durability Options for this 1960 Studebaker Champ include; AM Radio, Cloth Interior and Hub Caps.
