1950 Studebaker Pickup

Description

This is exactly everything you want in a vintage pickup. This 1950 Studebaker was stylish when new, and absolutely unique today. Plus, underneath the attractive style is the heart of a dependable and powerful Chevy V8. You get all of this, and a custom interior, for a very affordable price.

Showing up in a Studebaker pickup is already an experience. After all, the fellas from South Bend produced far less than the Detroit guys. This outsider prospective allowed them to be more aware of styling, and helped in building some of the best looking trucks on the road. The curvy cab, sculpted rear fenders, and upright box have a sturdy and stylish appeal like a pair of designer jeans, and this one goes even further on the flair scale. The modern dark blue is a fine color, and it covers the grille and bumpers for a very uniform look. The bed cover is a great modern touch, too. In contrast, the two-piece chrome hubcaps with red wheels and whitewall tires give this classic the right period-correct boldness. It's this mix of old and new worlds that is absolutely irresistible.

Inside this modern and vintage combination continues. It starts with classic bench seat that is now covered in a comfortable tweed. The door panels and headliner match nicely for a very thoughtful presentation. The classic Studebaker dash has some updates with provisions for both an AM/FM/CD stereo, and air conditioning. You slip behind a stylish wood and metal Grant steering wheel, and your right hand is instantly attracted to the Lokar shifter. In front of you is a full set of AutoMeter gauges, and these modern readouts with a classic appearance perfectly sum up how it feels to being in this pickup.

Studebaker made some fine engines, but when you want nice power and parts availability, nothing beats a Chevy crate motor like what's currently under the hood. The 350 cubic-inch V8 looks great in the engine bay with its aluminum radiator, K&N air topper, and Holley four-barrel carburetor. It even gives a nice sound out of the dual exhaust that tells the world about its power without being too boisterous. An independent front suspension, power steering, and a stout TH400 three-speed automatic transmission completes this reliable and comfortable package.

Distinct looks with a powerful heart that's easy to keep on the road – this Studebaker really delivers on everything you want in a great and useful classic. So when the price is this affordable, you know it's going to be gone soon. Call now!!
