This 1950 Studebaker Commander Starlight Coupe proudly displays its signature “bullet nose” design, making it an unmistakable classic. The teal paint, applied about 30 years ago, still retains a deep shine, complemented by gleaming chrome accents, including the front bumper and distinctive fender spears. One of its standout features, the wraparound rear “Starlight” glass, remains in excellent condition, further enhancing this coupe’s timeless appeal. Rolling on 15-inch painted steel wheels with Studebaker caps and wide whitewall radial tires, this Commander captures the essence of 1950s style.
Inside, the beige cloth interior blends vintage charm with comfort. The front and rear bench seats are well-preserved, accompanied by matching door panels and a clean headliner. The dash has been upgraded with modern digital gauges, providing a functional update while retaining its classic feel. Adding to its authenticity, the original Studebaker steering wheel remains in place. Front seatbelts and air conditioning ensure a comfortable ride, making this classic coupe an excellent choice for cruising in style.
Powering this Studebaker is a strong Ford 302 V8, remanufactured around 2014. Paired with a smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic transmission—likely sourced from a 1988 Mustang—this setup delivers reliable performance on the open road. The engine bay is cleanly organized and features an Edelbrock aluminum intake, an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and a serpentine belt system. Shorty headers, a large radiator with a fan clutch, and a Ford 9″ rear end further enhance its drivability. Power brakes provide confident stopping ability, while the car retains its original steering setup for a nostalgic driving feel.
This 1950 Studebaker Commander Starlight Coupe masterfully combines its distinctive 1950s design with upgraded V8 power and modern conveniences. Whether you’re looking for a standout cruiser or a unique classic with personality, this Studebaker is ready to impress. Call today!
