Model overview

Model description

Designer Bob Bourke of Raymond Loewy’s studio penned a sleek new coupe in 1953, and Studebaker quickly asked that the new look be adapted to all 1953 Champion body styles. The family coupes and sedans rode on a shorter wheelbase than what the initial design was sketched for, though the Regal hardtop coupe was true to Bourke’s design, and particularly handsome. Studebaker billed the Champion’s look as “European,” and it was true that the car looked like nothing else on American highways. Especially in the Regal, the Champion was low and striking.

All Studebaker Champions for 1953 utilized a small 169.6-cid L-head six-cylinder engine that could be backed by the most advanced automatic transmission on the market. This automatic had three speeds forward and a lock-up torque converter. The 1954 Champions saw no real changes except for a new grille and the addition of a two-door station wagon. The 1955 Champion received a large chrome grille.

In 1956, the super-low styling of the Champion was dropped, and a taller, more typical hood and decklid were adopted for the family cars, along with wrap-around windshields which debuted half way through 1955. The 1957 and 1958 cars were carried over, with no real substantive changes except for the addition of a dual headlamps and a very attractive two-door hardtop with a taller body for 1958.

This generation of Studebaker Commander is very popular among collectors. The low-slung “Lowey” coupes are particularly desirable, as are the 259-cid and 289-cid motors. Parts availability is fairly good and club support is terrific, making ownership quite enjoyable.

Common Questions

The value of a 1954 Studebaker Champion Deluxe can vary greatly depending on its condition, mileage, options, and history. Typically, you can expect to pay around $9,550 USD for a 1954 Studebaker Champion Deluxe in good condition with average spec.

Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.

Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.

Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.

The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
