1950 Commander
Here is your chance to jump right into the collector car driving season with a beautiful turn key '50's icon. Get in, start it up, and head to the cruise-in or car show. Join the Studebaker Driver's Club and learn why so many folks around the world love and admire these cars (over 12K members). The history of the company runs deep and broad and explains why they built such great cars. Often referred to as Engineer's cars or Stylists cars, they draw attention wherever they appear. This one is a real eye grabber designed by the Raymond Loewy design studios, and loads of fun to drive. The suicide doors alone are a source of conversation.
