Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2005Another mileage claim that I don't believe.
Doesn't the front seat look well used as evidenced by the depressions? Is that stock upholstery? Is that a worn through place I see at about 7 O'clock on the clutch pedal?. I think he is dreaming with that starting bid. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Studebaker-Commander-Land-Cruiser-1948-Studebaker -Land-Cruiser-original-equipment_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6466QQitemZ457132072 9QQrdZ1 My 48 LandCruiser was on EBay twice before I sold it to a local for 1400, a running driving shiny paint car that I drove from San Jose Ca to Tucson. He put it on 3 times finally put it at no reserve and sold it for 1800. Needed rugs and door panel but seats and headliner were done.This has been less than a year ago. I don't think he is dreaming; delirious yes but dreaming no. Bob Miles Tucson AZ I tend to believe the mileage is possible based on the condition of the carpets and pedals. The starting bid is not where I would begin, he's just giving ebay his money. > Doesn't the front seat look well used as evidenced by the depressions?

Hawk 54 Starlight(sold) 53 Starlight Those look like seat covers from that period. I had one of these years ago but as I recall that was not at all like the upholstery in it. If the original upholstery has been covered by the seat covers it could be in good condition. Mike > I tend to believe the mileage is possible based on the condition of the > carpets and pedals.

The speedometer is broken probably at the 43K mark?? > Doesn't the front seat look well used as evidenced by the depressions?

"Temperature controlled storage since 1955"? That car must have sat in a bakery oven the first 7 years of its life to have paint like that. And something's been leaking down that instrument cluster. Nice starting point though; 48 Land Cruisers were fabulous cars. > Looks to be a nice beginning if he would allow the bidders to determine the real > value.

The right front body mount is on its last legs its all rusty and it is made from the same metal the body is. BG Well Gang, He has lowered the price but still has a reserve. Jump in...but not me. I bought a 52 Commander 4 door with original nice still interior. It is not a regal but for riding comfort and ease of driving, I will take the 52 over the 48 100 time out of 10.
