This 1950 Studebaker Commander Starlight Coupe showcases the iconic "bullet nose" design with the teal exterior paint applied about 30 years ago, still maintains an eye-catching sheen. Distinctive chrome accents, including the front bumper and fender spears, complement the unique silhouette. The signature wrap-around rear glass - a hallmark of the Starlight Coupe - remains in excellent condition. Rolling on 15-inch painted steel wheels with Studebaker caps and 235/75R15 wide .....
whitewall radials, this Commander strikes a classic pose.
Inside, the beige interior offers a blend of comfort and vintage style. The bench seats, both front and rear, present well and are accompanied by door panels and a headliner in good condition. A modernized dash features digital readouts, while the original Studebaker steering wheel adds a touch of authenticity. The cabin is equipped with front seatbelts and air conditioning for added comfort and safety during cruises.
Under the hood, this Studebaker packs a punch with a Ford 302 V8 engine, remanufactured circa 2014. It's paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, likely from a 1988 Mustang, offering smooth power delivery. The engine bay is clean and well-organized, featuring an Edelbrock aluminum intake, Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and a serpentine belt system. Other upgrades include shorty headers, a large radiator with fan clutch, and a Ford 9" rear end. Power brakes provide confident stopping power, though the car retains its original steering setup.
