This is a 1938
Studebaker
Commander
State
Four Door. This
is a very rare car that was a one year design and the cathedral headlights were
only used on
Commander
State
and President Models (fewer than half the Studerbakers
made in this year). It has the large 6 cylinder Flathead 90 HP, 3 speed
transmission with overdrive, (the overdrive does work). This car is nearly eighty years old yet with
hydraulic brakes and a peppy six cylinder is quite drivable in today's
environment.
Painted an original
optional color available in 1938:
Lake Louise
Blue. I am
listing this for a friend who has owed the car for about 20 years. The car is in Kent Washington and you can
call the owner, Don directly if you have any questions at 253 854 0678. If you leave questions on Ebay please allow
time for me to get a hold of Don for your response.
The car has had a complete
frame off restoration with the engine rebuilt; machine work on the engine was
done by Pacific Machine Shop in
Renton
Washington
who has been respected for many years for their engine work on vintage
auto engines. The car was nearly
rust free and is restored completely with the only modifications from original
are changing it to a 12 volt electrical system and adding a duel brake master
cylinder. All glass is new safety glass;
new Coker 16 wide white-wall radial tires. It drives quite well, and looks great and
roomy with suicide rear doors. . A
complete new interior with materials as close to original as available. The only thing that does not work is the
original radio and the right rear door does not open. Car has bumper guards that were an option and a grill guard that is very rare. Mileage on the speedometer is 94, 000, this is believed to be the mileage look at the photos of the brake and clutch petals and see how little wear there is.
It is very hard to
determine the value of this vehicle. There appears to have been only one sold in Hemmings in the past three
years and only one sold on EBay in the past 30 days. Both these vehicles were good original cars
not restored and sold for $8000. The
value of this car that is fully restored should be about $18.000. This car is listed for one week with a
starting offer of $14, 000 and there is no reserve. Auto is in Kent Washington buyer makes arrangement to pick up and/or have shipped to your location
