Studebaker Champion Parked 47 Years - Will it RUN AND DRIVE?

This forgotten Classic Studebaker was found on a farm in a barn looking garage. It has been parked for almost 50 years! Rather than leave it abandoned, Let's see if we can get this vintage car running and driving again!

Derek thank you for getting my Dad's studebaker running are family really thanks you! Would really like to see part 2 . Polish the paint and chrome maybe even redo the interior. Thanks again!

Pressure wash, shine the paint, new tires and fix the fuel system, love watching you revive these old forgotten vehicles, so much history there.

True father and son bonding right there. I love the car content, but seeing a guy passing his wisdom onto his boy and spending some quality time. That’s priceless.

[SemperEspi]

You're the Dad I never had, seriously, I can't stop watching all the RUN AND DRIVE vids, my favorite. Thank you for keeping the car spirits alive!

I was born in 49. Lots of the old original cars pop up more and more. The frame off restorations are amazing, but having a car running as original as you want it really gets my attention now. Its like the day you look into the mirror and it actually catches you for a second, 'Who is that ?". The cars are the same way. When that baby was new in 47 it got washed and waxed and made to say "look at me". Now she isn't the head turner she used to be, but there is still that post war beauty in the lines and that she is still running. Thanks for the work Derek.

There is nothing that makes me happier on a Friday night than a LONG rescue video. Thanks Derek and Bentley.

This car is definitely a very rare find. If you can't keep it for a family member or special friend it absolutely needs to find a home with someone who can, and will, give her all the love she deserves. She's a very important piece of history that needs to be kept for many future generations to see.

It's kind of crazy to think men that built this country come up with ideas out thin air. It's awesome how everything works together in an automobile.

[scubasmith]

I had a really bad day. The revival of this amazingly cool car and a cold snack made it much better. Thank you for doing what you do.

Please Part 2. Would love to see it cleaned up new tires and possibly clean the gas tank out. Nice to see that the original owners see that you got it running again. You Rock.

That beauty deserves the VGG platinum cleanup package. She treated you so well by not giving you a lot of trouble. Treat her well. What goes around comes around. This Canadian veteran would love that car. My father used to buy and fix up Studies & Hudson. Many great hours spent with him learning the old school mechanical workings of everything without computers. Love your video’s. Keep ‘em coming. A big Canadian Forces retired Construction engineer CHIMO to you.

Just wanted to say how refreshing it is to see such a conscientious, intelligent young man helping his father. Hes the mirror image of you Derek. Keep up the good work. Steve UK

Would be awesome to see this polished up and on the road again.

[jeremyfdavies]

Definitely needs a good home to take it to next level. If it were me I’d tidy up the mechanicals, get the interior as original as possible and preserve her for the next generation. What’s incredible is the amount of originality, the car’s not been messed with. Brilliant episode!

[Bench_Press_Ben]

First off, the sound of a carbureted inline 6 is just sooo good. Absolute music to my ears.

As for the car, I’d love to see the fuel system and brakes done, tires, cleaned up. Nothing crazy but enough so it can legitimately be put back on the road. This thing deserves a few cruises through the hills of Tennessee! As always, love the channel Derek!

[caddydaddy]

A lot of people think those old studies are ugly as hell. But I love them. Thanks for rescuing history

[edyork]

Love this car. It would be great to see her cleaned up and shining like a diamond and taking her to town.. Always a great show, and this is a fantastic episode! Thanks

[dennisdugger]

Great video. Thank you Derek. That is a great old Studebaker that someone would love to have and restore. Just wash and shine her up at the most and let it go to a Studebaker lover. Don't even put tires on it. It is a true gem.

[madsstallknecht]

Its not friday without a new episode - thank you for all the content you bring Derek!

[melchizedek]

This guy is like the Bob Ross (RIP) of auto repairs, makes everything look simple while narrating with an easy listening voice
