This 1951 Studebaker Commander State convertible is finished in cream with a white convertible top over tan vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 232.6ci V8 paired with an automatic transmission. Equipment includes body-color steel wheels, wheel covers, whitewall tires, an AM radio, and sun visors. The current owner acquired the car around 2020. This HS-2 Commander is now offered on dealer consignment with transferable New York registration.
The car is finished in cream-colored paint and features a white convertible top, fender vents, a driver-side mirror, quarter-panel stone guards, and chrome bumpers and trim. Cracks in the paint and other imperfections are pictured in the gallery below.
Body-color 15″ steel wheels wear polished covers and are wrapped in 215/75 Coker Classic whitewall tires.
The cabin features front and rear bench seats upholstered in tan vinyl. Appointments include brown carpeting, door-panel stowage pockets, an AM radio, and sun visors. A fire extinguisher is mounted below the dashboard.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, amperage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 12k miles, approximately 20 of which were added under current ownership; true mileage is unknown.
The 232.6ci V8 was factory rated at 120 horsepower.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Studebaker Automatic Drive automatic transmission. Corrosion is noted on underbody components.
The car does not have a title, as it is registered in a state that does not issue titles for vehicles of its age. It is being sold on its transferable New York registration document.
