Per the rocker panel trim, it's not a Champion Custom or Deluxe, but a Champion or Commander Regal are both possible. I see no bright gravel shield. All State Commanders had that feature. Will just list as "1951 Studebaker", with Regal trim pending any better photo. -- Last edit: 2020-08-28 23:09:44

That one can be ID'ed by painted headlamp and tail lamp rims, a lack of gravel guards and no hood ornament. If a better photo does show bright gravel guards, then you would be right on the money! -- Last edit: 2020-08-29 16:01:31
