Studebaker Commander Regal Deluxe Convertible (1948)
for sale

Price: US $4,000.00

Description:

What a beautiful Studebaker! This 1948 Studebaker Commander Regal Deluxe convertible was restored years ago and has been preserved well by the previous owners. After a recent mechanical service, we can't find any mechanical issues and have enjoyed driving this beautiful convertible. The car drives great and cruises down the road well. The Inline 6 runs strong and the 3 speed manual shifts easily. All of the brightwork is present and in good condition. We believe the car underwent a frame off restoration at some point but have no documentation to prove that. Despite that, it is showing its age and is not museum quality. There are a few rust bubbles at a few places on the car. Please see photos for more.
The Commander Regal Deluxe convertible was introduced in 1947 and was the top of the line vehicle from Studebaker. A relatively small production volume of 1, 503 was seen in 1947 and increased in 1948 due to a positive model launch. Our records indicate a total production of 7, 982 Regal Deluxe Convertibles were built in 1948.
This vehicle is ready to be enjoyed and driven or would present itself well in a drivers collection. Please contact John (417) 834 6613 with any questions about the car or if you would like to schedule a time to look at the car. This auction is for the vehicle as is, where is. Please use the opportunity to contact with questions before bidding. Thanks for looking and good luck in bidding!

“Beautiful vehicle inside and out. Needs nothing to be enjoyed as a solid driver. Paint is very nice older restoration. Mechanically sound with no known mechanical issues. A couple of rust bubbles can be seen on the lower driver fender and passenger door but paint is in tact.”
