DT83 ◊ 2009-09-01 18:29	I love that 48-50 design. Ok, i'm gonna have to go find some magazine ads of Packards from that era.
Commander 57 ◊ 2009-09-01 19:31	That '51 Studebaker going by brings back memories of my childhood. My family had one from 1951 to 1962, a Commander sedan.
DT83 ◊ 2009-09-01 19:46	One of these? http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/pix/Studebaker/images/51Studebaker02-or.jpg 50-51 models will always be my favorite Studebakers. I think the bullet looking grill is cool looking.
Commander 57 ◊ 2009-09-01 19:55	Yes. Ours had the lesser trim (rubber instead of chrome rear door gravel shields and no fender-top ornamentation). The one in your link picture is the "Commander State". I think our version was the "Commander Regal". It was gray rather than red. -- Last edit: 2009-09-01 19:57:58
DT83 ◊ 2009-09-01 20:12	Link to "www.oldcarmanualproject.com" Heres a Regal sedan. Link to "www.oldcarmanualproject.com" This is my favorite model, with that wrap around back windshield. These are both '50 models, though.
Commander 57 ◊ 2009-09-01 20:25	Yes, the green sedan's trim was like ours, but was a 1951.
