'60 Studebaker Champ Pickup

Release Date: February 2008

Cast Number: 416

The Studebaker Champ pickup debuted in 1960, and would be built until 1964. It was a light-duty pickup, and because the company’s sales had been slightly less than stellar, they were forced to go to numerous existing components in production. The capable horsepower was provided either by the 170 cid. used in the Studebaker Lark automobile, or the 245 cid. “Big Six.” The Champ also pioneered the sliding rear cab window - a staple on pickups for years. This Champ rings in with a coat of Dark Green Pearl.
