I stumbled onto a car show today and saw one of these:
"The 'Studebaker Commander' is the model-name of a long succession of automobiles produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana (USA) and Studebaker of Canada Ltd of Walkerville and, later, Hamilton, Ontario (Canada). Studebaker began using the Commander name in 1927[1]:p258 and continued to use it until 1964, with the exception of 1936 and 1959-63. The model-name was applied to various positions in the company's product line-up from year to year.
Interestingly, the Pearson Commander started production in 1964... when studebaker stopped using the name. Or was it in 1963?
In any case; here is a picture of a 1955 'Commander' similar to the one I saw today. (That was in Pink!)
