1951 Studebaker Champion Regal Deluxe Deluxe

If you're looking for iconic, here it is - the bullet-nose Studebaker! This is a 1951 Champion Regal Deluxe convertible that is an instant hit wherever it goes. If you want to get noticed, this is the car you want! This car has the automatic transmission which is rare. The paint is in outstanding condition with just a few chips. The car was repainted approximately eight years ago. The chrome and stainless exterior trim are in excellent condition. The car starts well, idles smoothly and has good power for a six cylinder. Lights and turn signals function properly and the brakes work properly. The convertible top material is in excellent condition and was likely replaced at some point. The seat upholstery is in great condition and was redone prior to my ownership. The AM radio even works! The tires are at least eight years old but have plenty of tread. Included with the car is a high quality dust cover, owners manual and some repair receipts from the previous owner. There is a crack in the right headlight chrome trim, however two good used trims are included with the car that can be re-chromed and installed. The power top mechanisms were replaced with hydraulic rams by the previous owner. The top seems to work a little slow but I have nothing to compare it to. Aside from routine maintenance, the only things the car has needed during my ownership are a new stoplight switch and new battery. This car will be conveyed to the new owner on a clear title. The vehicle is being sold AS IS - WHERE IS. There are no warranties expressed or implied. I'm looking for a fast sale, so my asking price is between 15k-17k.
