Commander 57 ◊ 2022-03-15 04:35	True. Interesting observation, though. The car has painted headlamp rims like a Champion Custom, yet has a hood ornament which Champions Customs did not have.

Two body configurations are offered: Starlight, recognizable by its separation pillar between the door and the rear window, and Starliner, without this pillar"
Commander 57 ◊ 2022-03-16 03:51	fred1969, there are subtle differences depending on trim. Also, all Commander models had a V-8 emblem on the trunk lid.
