For sure, episode 3.12 @19.16 ’47-49 Studebaker, parked My best guess: 1948 Champion Regal Deluxe 2dr. |

Could really use a closer, clearer photo but I'm listing as 1947 Champion. Definitely from the '47-'49 time frame and appears to have a Champion front. Bumpers don't appear wrapped but there is a suggestion the top of the bumper guards is wider, a '47 exclusive. Can't really tell if the car has ss windshield trim but there appears to be bright rocker trim, a Regal Deluxe feature. |

Righto -- maybe seeing in real time will help. Do you have access to the episode? I watched this one on Foxeema, but you really have to dodge the adware. http://foxeema.blogspot.com/2012/06/highway-patrol-tv-show.html Thanks for the approval. -- Last edit: 2014-04-18 16:25:21 |

Here's one for you, Commander 57. '47 Studebaker Commander w/optional fender ornaments but w/o winguards, yes? ![[Image: studefrontparked.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18675/studefrontparked.jpg) episode 1.08 @14:38 Clearest, closest photo of a Studebaker yet. Deserves it's own page?  -- Last edit: 2014-05-09 21:41:53 |

Your new photo from ep 1.08 shows a '48 Champion (note full ring hood ornament, new for '48 on Champions). But is this the same car as the subject one? |

no, but I thought they were both '47s. Are you sure the car from 1.08 is a Champion? Don't only the Commanders and Land Cruisers have the chrome side stripe below the headlight? Could it also be a '47 or '48 Commander? -- Last edit: 2014-05-09 17:09:34 |

Quite right, Oddsoox. The penalty for posting too fast! The thumbnail car IS in fact a Commander per the fender top ornament and the fender chrome you mentioned. (The fender top ornaments were optional in '47 and '48 but made standard for 1949.) It is a 1948 particularly, as the 1947 Commanders had bumper wing guards standard. They were optional in 1948. (The 1949 bumper was wrap-around on both Commanders and Champions.) That fire hydrant is a bit creepy looking. Like a mutant Pillsbury Dough Boy. And wouldn't Mike and Frank love that vintage stop sign! -- Last edit: 2014-05-09 17:41:29 |

Grew up just 30 miles from where these episodes were filmed. Photos like these bring out the memories big time. This stop sign has a AAA logo, remember these well. And not just the stop signs (and white-on-black speed limit signs) dotted with those little reflectors, but note the barber stripes on the poles holding them. Stop signs selling on e-bay for $200-$400 now. Sometimes the billboards and store signs aren't fully masked so you can spot 76 stations and other places. I guess there's a Wooden Shoe Cafe chain that was big down there, along with Rand's Round Up chuck-wagon restaurants. And I remember the railroad tracks and switches running through the middle of town. Over- and under-passes largely a thing of the future. We didn't have a dog so I didn't much notice the fire hydrants back then, LOL! Back to the Studes, just placed another '47-'49 on this page and copied the '48 Commander to the '48 Studebaker page. More coming as I find 'em -- certain to. -- Last edit: 2014-05-09 21:43:36 |
