Give him a little slack. He's gotta be 100 years old by now, even if he was under 20 when he bought it! 😁 Edited May 7 by Dave Wells (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 It's a 1941 Studebaker Commander Custom Sedan-Coupe. The all-new bodies for Commanders and Presidents were only built for 1941 and the war time curtailed 1942 model years. A significant feature of the Sedan-Coupes were curved windshields for a pre-war production body style, the four door sedans didn't have them. The curvature is slight but considered a step forward in glass technology. Only the concurrent lwb Chrysler Crown Imperials also had curved windshields. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Anyone interested seeing more of this very same automobile can watch a YouTube video entitled "MWK #1278, 1941 Studebaker Commander, Gateway Classic Cars of Milwaukee". So maybe this current Facebook ad is a scam attempt by someone that doesn't know one make of antique car from another? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil morse Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Okay, correction has been made in the ad so now we can focus on the car. It looks really nice to me at a reasonable price. I've always like the styling on these Studebakers and the paint looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just researching that very question because I saw a '41 Chrysler limo in the film "Born to Kill" the other night and I was wondering about it. I think the one-piece curved windshield was first offered on the '37 Airflow Custom Imperial Limo like this one made specially for Major Bowes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the Chrysler Custom Imperial Airflow Series CW is credited with the first curved windshields in a production car, though 'production' would be generous description for the 112 CWs built between 1934-'37. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
