The Studebaker Champion is an automobile which was produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana from the beginning of the 1939 model year until 1958.
The success of the Champion in 1939 was imperative to Studebaker’s survival following weak sales during the 1938 model year. Unlike most other cars, the Champion was designed from a "clean sheet", that is, having no restrictions caused by necessarily utilizing older parts or requiring the subsequent use of its components in heavier vehicles. Careful market research guided the selection of features, but a key principle adhered to was the engineering watchword "Weight is the enemy." For its size, it was one of the lightest cars of its era; its main competitor in this respect, the Willys Americar, did not go through as thorough a design process. Its compact straight-6 engine outlasted the model itself and was produced to the end of the 1964 model year, with a change to an OHV design in 1961.
The Champion was one of Studebaker's best-selling models by virtue of its low price (US$660 for the two-door business coupe in 1939), durable engine and styling. The car's ponton styling was authored by industrial designer Raymond Loewy who had been under contract with Studebaker for the design of their automobiles. Champions won Mobilgas economy runs by posting the highest gas mileage tests. During World War II, Champions were coveted for their high mileage at a time when gas was rationed in the United States. From 1943-1945, the Champion motor was used as the powerplant for the unique Studebaker M29 Weasel personnel and cargo carrier, which also used four sets of the Champion's leaf springs arranged transversely for its bogie suspension.
The Champion was phased out in 1958 in preparation for the introduction of the 1959 Studebaker Lark. Prior to this, Studebaker had been placed under receivership, and the company was attempting to return to a profitable position

Week 52
The last week. The boys got back together for this final week of 2017. I haven't seen Sam in god knows how long especially with the original squad. Seeing and spending time with all of them was fantastic and a great way to end off the year. The only issue with this week has been for horribly cold it has been. The temperature has been averaging around 7 degrees every day. That is scary cold. Luckily, I have survived through it so far and had a wonderful week with my amazing friends. A great week to close off 2017. I have officially finished off a whole year of weekly uploads. I have to say it was very easy especially compared to last years daily uploads. I miss that challenge. Having a goal set for every day the moment I wake up. Yeah it was challenging at times but it having that challenge is healthy. It keeps me from being lazy and gets me constantly working to create. That is why I am going to bring it back for 2018. For the people that actively read this blog, get ready. Daily is coming back.
I can't wait to see what 2018 has in store for me!
