No matter how nice that 1954 is, unless you had an Aunt Fanny or Aunt Minnie that drove one, the pool of interested buyers if very very small to generate that price. Argument could be made it was a low production car. True, but not because or rarity but because unless it was time for a new Studebaker, people bought Ford and Chevy cars. Wayne Carina bought a 1954 Commander because it was a true original car. I doubt very seriously he would have considered this car.
That being said, my cloudy crystal ball says he will have a unlockable grip on the steering wheel at the price for some time to come. His heirs may sell the car for $7,500 or maybe if the ambient temperature is right, $8,000. IMHO.

Mr. Quinn talked about 1941 Champions and how someone at the time wanted to sell the car for $10,000. Being that Mr. Quinn is the essential 1941 Champion expert, he opined that the best in the world 1941 Champion would not sell for that much money at the time.

If you had $11,500 to buy a car would you buy this car, or a drivable 1955 Speedster on Craigslist for the same money?

It is my observation at local car shows that younger people don't have the same aversion to 4 doors as people old enough to remember what "hard top" means. I see lots of 4 door Chevys and some 4 door Fords. To the younger folks that own them they are neat old cars and they enjoy them.Don Wilson, Centralia, WA
