1950 Studebaker Champion Convertible - Danbury Mint

Thanks for ruining my day John. 🙁 Well, you didn't really ruin my day, but you did make me want to slap myself silly. I "had" this car on my shelf for 1 day. I decided to send it back to Danbury Mint because at the time, I had 6 other models on order. I'd already had DM's dark gray version of this model, and asked myself, "Self, why do I need another Studebaker?". Well the answer I got was, "Send it back", so I did. LOL, the last time I've ever listened to "myself". 
I love the model, wish I still had it. As always, YOUR PHOTOS bring it to life.

Sorry George, it is one of my favorite models, but I have always been a sucker for lighter yellow convertibles.

Yea, and know John, that is what makes me sad too. I love yellow on cars! When I'm done typing this, I'm going to kick myself again for not keeping that model.

Great pictures of a very nice Studebaker, John.
