A Very Interesting Custom '54 Commander-pics below

Lots about this one I have never seen done before. Truly a one-of-a-kind car. If you like customs you won't be disappointed. Scroll down for pictures. (Thanks to Collection Doctor)

Simply fabulous. And that's got nothing to do with liking the details, although I (mostly) do. I am much more in awe of the workmanship. Obviously top-quality.

Dangit! The trunk lock cylinder is crooked.

I usually don't like the Mini-Cooper/Mercedes sloped headlights, but I think they work on this car. Very nicely done "modern" interpretation/evolution of the original Studebaker design.

Notice there aren't any full side profile views of the car? That's because the slanty headlights mork up the proportions of the car, as seen from the side. Otherwise, not bad at all.

I remember seeing this car before and loving it. Like others, I don't always like drastic changes to the 53 design, but for some reason, this one works for me. Mercedes-ish look to me. The only style changes I would have made if mine are: the door frame, and then I would have bulged the entire rear fender instead of the flare. The front wheel well looks great, but the rear has too much 60s Vette flavor. But don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the car, as I said, I love it.
