1950 Studebaker. As far as I can see, it is a Champion, but the rear lights don't match exactly with the photos I got. Also the rear window in one piece is somewhat different, as I saw it always divided in two. |

1951+ Studebakers opted with four doors had a undivided rear window. One example is this Commander (V8) http://barnfinds.com/exclusive-1951-studebaker-commander/ which also has the same bootlid handle and overriders. Another is this Champion (I6) http://billstudepage.homestead.com/files/2011august.htm . So six or eight cylinder? I don't know. Models available in 1951 http://www.classiccarcatalogue.com/STUDEBAKER%201951.html . -- Last edit: 2017-03-13 12:00:39 |

This is a 1951 Studebaker Commander State. Correct observations by Zodiac regarding the one-piece rear window, trunk handle and bumper guard design, all 1951 indicators. This is a Commander per the V-8 emblem on the trunk lid just visible above the handle, and is a State Commander owing to the stainless steel gravel shield. Strange tail lamp lenses, I agree. They look aftermarket. -- Last edit: 2017-03-13 13:15:24 |

locally assembled? We have just one CH-made Studebaker: /vehicle_23456-Studebaker-Champion-Ghia-Aigle-1955.html |

That other Studebaker has got a Swiss built body (by Ghia-Aigle). I think only some Larks have been assembled in Switzerland as standard Studebaker. http://www.swisscarregister.ch/french/site/montage/montage_suisse_f_amag.html |
