Changing accordingly. And if we are concluding Commander, it has to be a Regal trimmed one as all Commander States and Land Cruisers had front fender top ornaments. This is the PRECISE model of Studebaker we had when I was a child - a surf gray '51 Commander Regal. -- Last edit: 2011-07-04 14:35:52
