Michael ◊ 2006-05-04 15:18	1953 Studebaker Commander Starlight Coupe painted Chippewa green with a Lombard green roof.
Commander 57 ◊ 2010-02-15 19:38	Beautiful car. (And correctly identified)
Michael ◊ 2010-08-19 15:46	Yes, really beautiful car... I have one exactly like it in my garage along with a Avanti R2.
Commander 57 ◊ 2010-08-19 17:56	Right down to the colors, Michael? (My 1957 Commander Deluxe also resides in my garage. It's two-toned Arctic White and Wedgewood Blue.)
Michael ◊ 2010-08-19 21:56	Yes it was painted Chippewa green with a Lombard green roof when new. Right now it's painted some kind of green primer, but it will be back to it's original colors when I have the time and can afford a new paint job. It has no rust and runs great though.
Commander 57 ◊ 2010-08-19 22:00	Nice! I've always been partial to cars painted 2 tones of the same color. My grandmother had a 2-tone green '56 Olds Super 88 and my '85 Crown Victoria is 2-tone blue.
Baube ◊ 2017-11-05 00:47	saw one like this in late september, but 1-tone
