1950 Batman Forever 1950 Studebaker Champion “Gotham Police”

1950 Studebaker Champion “Gotham Police”

The Champion was one of Studebaker's best-selling models because of its low price (US$660 for the 2-door business coupe in 1939, equal to $13,885 today), durable engine, and styling. The car's ponton styling was authored by industrial designer Raymond Loewy, who had been under contract with Studebaker for the design of their automobiles. Champions won Mobilgas economy runs by posting the highest fuel efficiency tests. This particular example is upfitted with the Gotham Police designations from the Batman Forever movie.
