I have been interested in Studebakers for as long as I can remember seeing the first bullet nose... I am looking into picking up a '49-'51 Commander and use it as my daily driver.
My preference is the 4 door style Deluxe or Land Cruiser variations (although the Starlight is quite sexy too...).
Anything I need to be aware of when looking for these?
What are some of the key questions I should ask the sellers?
Are there any major mechanical issues these cars are known for?
My mechanical ability is limited so I am looking for something that is street legal and drivable with minimal restoration work needed.
What is a 'fair price' for one of these in ^ condition?
The wife has given me an allowance to spend on such a treasure. I have found a few candidates in the condition that I require and they exceed that budget, so if any of you feel so inclined to assist me with that part, it would be most appreciated! You can make donations to an up and coming Studebaker addict here: gofund.me/27gmr98.
I am so excited to be a proud owner of one of these machines my wife is getting sick of me talking about it!
Thanks everyone in advance for your responses!
