Studebaker had been applying the Commander name to its cars since 1927. The V-8–powered Commander Starlight Coupe that appeared for 1953, however, carried its own unique tagline: “The American car with the European look.” It was true; the stylish new Studes looked like nothing else on American roads—except for their lower-priced six-cylinder Champion cousin, that is. Today, base Commander sedans can be had for less than $5000—a great deal—but there’s still immense value in the attractive Starlight Coupes. Cars from 1953–54 featured a 233-cid V-8 making 120 hp, while the new-for-’55 V-8 upped displacement to 259 cid and bumped output to a healthy 162 hp. The market makes no real distinction, so you may as well keep a ’55 in your sights.
