Studebaker - Birth Certificate - Factory Order

Today, I received my Studebaker's birth certificate from the Studebaker National Museum in South Bend, Indiana. The details:

Factory Order # X21378

The Champion is no longer Maui Blue, but rather Concord Blue.

I'll take some time to compare the original engine, body and key numbers with what's currently on the car.
