Hello
I wanted to introduce myself here, and tell you a brief story regarding a 1939 Commander.
My uncle just purchased the car this afternoon while in town from NC. It is unclear to me whether he will restore the car to factory, or mod/rod it out. Myself, I am a purist, and believe the car is in FANTASTIC condition, and should be kept original. The car was never restored, and is, to the best of our knowledge, 100% original.
There are a few reasons that I joined your wonerful community.
First, when I opened the glove box, I found a Studebaker Drivers Club membership renewal form. The original owner(who passed away sometime in the last two years) was a member of the SDC. I do not know if he belonged to the forum or not, but was wondering if there was a way to find out??? Maybe help us fill in the details of this awesome vehicle.
And second, if my uncle does not listen to me, and strips this car down to mod/rod, I wanted original parts to be available to owners who need/want them. I am not sure the best way to sell/barter these, and am open to suggestions if the need arises, such as prices and where to advertise.
Like I said, it is a great car that purrs like a kitten. I hope he keeps it original...We'll See!
Oh, and in case you are wondering, here are two quick pictures:
