  • 1942 Commander coup sedan

    How can you tell if this is an early or late build? It has chrome trim, so I'm guessing this would be earlier. Would it be a Commander Deluxstyle?

    153 rd body applied that year so its early. 2 door sedan coupe had either F-3 custom or F-3 deluxstyle trim levels but it would require additional photos to determine which one you have.

      Sorry. No photos right now. In addition to the side molding with the Commander name on it. It does have an additional stainless molding under the side glass.

        I know 0 about Pre-War Cars but:
        Can't you usually tell a Coupe from a 2 Door Sedan by the small Triangle type Rear side windows or None vs, Long roll up windows like a 4 Door like THIS?

          Studebaker actually called it that. Here’s a ‘42 President Skyway Sedan Coupe.

            I believe to know early or late we would need to know the serial #.
