I have never had a strong passion for post WWII Studebakers (at least insofar as ownership) but if I were to own one I think I would prefer a '50 Commander Starlight or convertible. Incidentally anyone care to add a caption to this photo as to what the prospect was saying to the salesman as he looked at the "bullet?"

For your possible interest I sent Tom Shrock in PA some original lucite "bullets" that fit in the end of those fender ornaments on the '50 Commander and Land Cruiser and he has replicated them.
Anyone interested can contact Tom or Dave at ShrockBrothers@penn.com or see their website at: http://www.shrockbrothers.com/studeb...ion_parts.html They do not have this particular part listed on their site yet but it is available. They do exceptional work.Richard Quinn
