1948 Studebaker Land Cruiser - Mantua Man Buys 'Interim Car'

Why have just one great Studebaker?

"Bill Jones, an officer and editor of the South Jersey Studebaker club’s slick newsletter, couldn’t wait for his 1962 Studebaker Lark Daytona to get fully restored and show-ready. So, seven months ago, he bought a fine example of a ’48 Land Cruiser (top-of-the-line above the Champion and Commander) while he waited."

1951 Studebaker Commander - Land Cruiser

From the November 15, 1950 St. Petersburg Times:

"Front-end styling alterations center around the new grille, "spinner", and bumper support splash shield. New trunk deck handles and re-designed tail lamps are the new rear features."

Studebaker - Auctions - For Sale

Let it be known that a Studebaker remains an excellent investment. RM Auctions sold a 1929 Studebaker Commander Dual Cowl Phaeton for $93,500. Not bad for a Studebaker.

1950 Studebaker Land Cruiser - Regal DeLuxe

I am fanatical about scouring the Web for reference materials/images in preparation for restoring our Studebaker's interior. Old Car and Truck Pictures has some excellent scans of Studebaker advertisements from the 1950s.

The scan below shows the upholstery pattern and trim designs for the 1950 Studebaker Land Cruiser Regal DeLuxe.
