Summary
This custom 1953 Studebaker Champion Starlight Coupe features a 454ci Chevrolet V8, TH400 automatic transmission, and a Currie 9” rear end. It boasts a chopped roof, frenched lights, shaved exterior, and a custom ivory interior with air conditioning and a B&M Pro ratchet shifter. The car has been driven fewer than 800 miles since its street rod build completion, riding on Budnik wheels with a Camaro-sourced front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes.

NorCalBert This feels less like a street rod than a custom bodied Grand Tourer. Clean, elegant and powerful.
