Welcome Switster,
I saw a restored 54 Champion at an antique shop this past weekend... NICE. I hadn't seen one of those in years.
My dad and I bought one and a 51 for parts in the early '70s... me, I thought the 51 was so unique, I would have liked to see it restored instead. It was fashioned after an airplane and made you feel like you were in a cockpit of one. Sadly, once scavenged, the 51 was sent to the crusher.
Dad sold the 54... I wouldn't be surprised if the one I saw lat weekend was that car!
