1954 Commander At Pebble Beach - Wayne Carini

[Commander Eddie]

I just watched Wayne Carini with his 1954 Commander Starliner at Pebble Beach. The car looked beautiful and took second place in the post war preservation class. There is a thread on here about this car. It's a stunner.

I was fortunate to see the car in Connecticut a couple of years ago. It is MAGNIFICENT!

Four year old episode?

I'm not sure which episode or the age of it, but Wayne and the Commander are supposed to again be aired on the Motor Trend channel Wednesday, April 3, 2019 at 8 PM eastern DST. BP

Velocity is now Motor Trend, which could be good or bad, depending on how one looks at it.

I received a subscription to M/T x-mas 1949, continued to receive it thru sometime in 1973, but...

At some point in 1973, a reader wrote a letter to the editor asking for Studebaker info.

When the smart-azz answer was: "Why don't you try something constructive like collecting string?" I cancelled my subscription.

btw: Attended the L/A Chapter car show in Northridge today, there were two cars there that one rarely sees:

Studebaker race car that participated in the 1932 Indianapolis 500, 1935 Pierce-Arrow purchased new by actress Ann Sheridan.

I remember seeing pictures of this car. When it was for sale, by the original owners family, in 2014. It was incredible! Now, I can't see them anywhere. Does anyone here have any, that they can post?

Thanks!

See post #4.

See post #4.

"Wednesday, April 3, 2019 at 8:00 PM eastern DST." Isn't a particularly convenient time for me. I will likely be finishing up at work, and then in the commute traffic. Until about 10 PM eastern DST. If I could just see pictures here, it would be easier, for me?

Thanks,

Mark

I don't know if I could stand to drive it with all those add on gee gaws made of chrome. Lovely car though!

[paintim613]

Soon after Wayne bought the car I asked him at SEMA if he was going to keep it. He emphatically said he would never sell it.

[t walgamuth]

Has he yet?

It's in the April Turning Wheels. Inside front cover and page 32. Listed as belonging to Wayne and Laura Carini.

Wow. Did Wayne join the SDC?

Page 33 shows a good close-up of the incorrect two-toning on the car. I wonder what the production order states. Perhaps it was two-toned by the dealer, or later. This was not uncommon.

I've seen this episode at Pebble Beach several times now over the last few years. You would think after the first time the radio wouldn't work, he'd fix it. lol
