This is the only Studebaker Commander Straight Eight with a Dual Cowl Phaeton body style ever created. It was given a full body-off restoration; upon completion, it was put on display at the 2004 Meadow Brook Concours. It retains its original coachwork and is finished in white with a taupe beltline and fenders, black Connolly leather interior, and side-mount spare tires.
Power is from a 250 cubic-inch L-head eight-cylinder engine offering 80 horsepower at 3600 RPM. There is a three-speed gearbox and four-wheel mechanical brakes.
In 2008, this one-off Studebaker Dual Cowl Phaeton was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, CA. The car was estimated to sell for $80,000 - $100,000 and was offered without reserve. As the gavel fell for the third and final time, the car had been sold for $74,800, including the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2009
