'48/'49.
Can't make out hood ornament well enough to tell if Commodore or Super.

What was the exact difference between these ornaments? Acc. to book of J. 'Kelly' Flory, Super had smaller hubcaps (in standard trim w/o extras), but I'm unable to say which ones we see here. He also mentions that Super had "manual latch front door vent windows" (vs "crank-type front door vent windows" in Commodore) - no idea if any differnece would be visible on these pics...

NOTE: To dispel a common error, the presence of fender top ornaments is not a way to tell a Commodore from a Super. While they were standard on Commodores, they were optionally available on Supers.
(Of course, if the car does NOT have these ornaments, it can be ID'ed as a Super.)

1948 Commodore. Weasel 1984's detail photo shows ivory steering wheel, Commodore front fender top spear, wide rocker trim available only on Commodore models, window trim clip in 1948 position. Curiously this car has no radio.

Two errors in the last post above.
1) Supers also had the front fender top ornaments, albeit optionally.
2) Rocker trim on both series is the same.
I don't know what is meant by "window trim clip".
