No. 034 of 207
The Studebaker Commander is the model name of a long succession of automobiles produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana.
Studebaker first used the Commander name in 1927 and continued to use it for most years through 1964. The model’s name was used for various vehicles in the company's product line-up and would often change from year-to-year.
For 1931, the all-new Commander Series 70 line began in July 1930 and continued to September 1931. Production in 1931 was 10,823 and the original price was $1,685.
The car features a new V-shaped radiator flanked by oval shaped headlights along with parking lights that sit atop the front fenders. The single bar bumper has a V-shaped dip in the center. Freewheeling allows shifting without a clutch.
This Studebaker is on loan in the Martin Auto Museum from Sid Rosen with the Phoenix area Studebaker Club.
