The Starlight Coupe, dentified by the four-pane rear window offering a panoramic view, as said to have drawn inspiration from the aviation industry.
Not the best picture taker, ome pictures were taken directly from those offered to the public during view time.
I have not put this Studebaker up on a lift to snap a photo but it is as clean underneath as it is in the engine compartment, nterior of the car or trunk.
You can bid comfortably knowing you are investing in a nicely restored & maintained Starlight Coupe G-10.
Viewed up close, he observation is that this is a clean and well-preserved 1951 Champion despite the slightly higher mileage!
It is a 2-Door Coupe, as an Inline 6, on the Tree, as the air induction flaps, s a Black Cherry Exterior with Gray Bedford Cloth Interior, 40-15 BF Goodrich Tires and the odometer read in the area of 88,508 miles.
(3) manuals (trunk picture) and 3-Ring binder showing work history/restoration receipts and by whom are included.
Included also are at least (2) boxes of Turning Wheel magazines I have maintained - most all are in mint condition dating back 15 to 20 years!

No warranty is expressed or implied!
The Studebaker HAS NOT been driven since I unloaded from my trailer after the auction end earlier in 2015.

Transport of the Studebaker is up to the purchaser! U-Ship is a good option!
