Snow Bound 1950 Studebaker Champion. Seattle has been experiencing a moderate snowstorm for the past few days. In my strolls through the neighborhood, I’m not surprised to see unique cars parked on the street. This Studebaker however, really took me by surprise.

This is a 1950 Studebaker Champion sedan in Rio Green. Notice the cool suicide rear doors? This is the first Champion sedan I have ever seen and I think it looks less awkward than the coupes. The coupes being famous for their optional “Starlight Coupe” wraparound rear window.

This Virgil Exner penned body style was introduced in 1947 and was a rare new design in post war America. The bigger car companies were selling rehashed late 30s designs. With its propeller spinner influenced grill (some folks call these cars “Bullet nosed”), I think this sedan looks a little like a Tucker.

Studebaker sold over 300,000 cars in 1950. All my life Studebakers have been “old cars”, referenced only on Happy Days or by Fozzi Bear in the Muppet Movie. I wonder what sort of person bought a Studebaker in 1950? The airplane inspired nose seems sort of Saab-like. The next model year, 1951, would see Studebaker introduce a V8 similar in design to the Chrysler Hemi. Did Saab sorts, engineers and professors, buy Studebakers? This car came equipped with an inline six engine fed by a single carburetor that made 85 horsepower. StartingGrid, Bret Dodson

Gentlemen now’s the time, let’s synchronize our watches. What have we got here? The Bell & Ross BR03, to be precise, an aviation watch designed for professionals, with its 42mm diameter a genuine alternative to the 46 mm diameter BR01. The BR03 Heritage draws its inspiration from history while using the most modern techniques to withstand the effects of time. Its hands, numerals and index, sand colored and with an antiquated look, and its natural leather strap, give it the character and appeal of period military watches. Seen at QP.

Driving back to Any-Martin-Rieux.

"Seems to me an ideal road to check out
a short wheel base Jaguar!
Seen any of those around here?"

"Never seen one of the neighbors drive such a car,"
says Aernoud W., "they all drive a Berlingo or a Kangoo,
to ride through the woods or across a meadow,
farm carts which easily may be used
to load odd stuff and things, high on the wheels;
a Toyota or a Landrover for the heavy stuff.
When we talk shiny cars, and think of flying mud and
thorny branches, Audi is the marque."

"I already arrived!"
Guy

"Ha, ha, how long do you want to keep
this shiny bike without a heavy cable & lock?"
Guy

A lot of care.
