cl82 ◊ 2009-05-14 19:13	Studebaker Commander, ca. 1953/54?
DynaMike ◊ 2009-05-14 20:48	'Empty' grilles and very low overriders: 1953 only. I guess the two-tone paint makes it a Regal trim level. But no way to distinguish on this photo between the L6 Champion or the V8 Commander, nor between the pillared Starlight or the hardtop Starliner...
DynaMike ◊ 2009-05-14 20:54	Well, 1953 had only a small horizontal bar (not very well visible) in the grilles, whereas the 1954 had well visible egg-crate chrome grilles (plus higher overriders).

If that's the case, then this may be an alternate shot of the same car. Note that it has a sedan post:
DynaMike ◊ 2009-05-15 15:07	Nice, that makes it a Starlight. Still impossible to distinguish between Champion and Commander, though.
Commander 57 ◊ 2010-02-15 15:58	Appears to have broad W/S trim = Regal. Agreed, too far away to see if it has Commander or Champion badges on the quarter panels. -- Last edit: 2011-10-12 03:02:06
