How 'Bout A Local Commercial?

Here are some commercials for the 1950 Studebaker from the Studebaker dealers of Los Angeles County.



This aired on the locally-telecast Buster Keaton Show. 320,884 of these cars were built for the 1950 model year, and I'll tell you, that is one certainly unique body style.

For 1951, Studebaker somewhat toned down the bullet nose and added chrome to the front of the car (they also added an overhead valve V-8 engine to their Commanders and Land Cruisers as well).

They planned to keep the bullet nose for 1952, but wartime restrictions (this was during the Korea War) put the kibosh on that.
