HISTORICAL: The Studebaker Commander was produced for several years, representing several body style changes, and first appeared in the late 1920s. The company would continue to use the name until its demise in 1966. The Commander moved up-market in 1939 when Studebaker introduced the Champion model. After the Second World War, Studebaker dropped its President moniker and repositioned the Commander in its place. At the same time, Studebaker introduced an extended wheelbase model known as the Land Cruiser.
