Has anyone got production numbers for '54 Commander Regal Starliner Hardtop Coupe as well as '55 President State Hardtop Coupe? How about mid-range values for a very nice V/8 "driver" of those models? Thanks, Dan

Here are the production numbers from the Fourth Edition of The Standard Catalog of American Cars 1946-1975:
1954 Commander Starliner: 5,040
1955 President State 2-door hardtop: 3,468
For valuations, go online to NADA Guides. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

Everyone's definition of "very nice driver" will be different and very few of these cars sell, so "value" is pretty subjective.
I'd say $10-$14,000 for a rust free, nicely restored car. $20-$30,000 for a show car.Dick Steinkamp

That was the basis for my recommendation, plus the fact that I'm not comfortable issuing opinions on such things. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

I think Dick's price range is fair. Mine cost $50,000 to get it where it is (after a few mulligans) and it appraised in at $30,000. When I'm gone it will probably be disposed of for under $20,000, but I get to drive the wheels off it 'til thenDave Warren (Perry Mason by day, Perry Como by night)

LOL. I have no heirs, but my staff have kept me in the game so far, so they'll be in charge. All ladies so they probably won't keep my car (but they'll fight over my dog)Dave Warren (Perry Mason by day, Perry Como by night)
