Big Dave ◊ 2014-04-10 02:22	1955 Studebaker , did they have Conestoga in OZ

And a mid-season Ultra Vista model owing to the wrapped windshield. Note incorrectly painted-over chrome on front. -- Last edit: 2014-04-10 14:52:43

Commander 57 ◊ 2014-04-10 14:45	Thanks to Dave's additional photo, this can now be identified as a Champion. Champion Regal Conestogas had the "Studebaker" nameplate close up under the belt trim beneath the 2nd side window. Commander Regal and Deluxe Conestogas had the "Commander" nameplate several inches lower on the side. (Champion Deluxe Conestogas had no side nameplates at all.) Note from the thumbnail that the Conestoga nameplate is missing from the tailgate. It should be written diagonally on the right side. -- Last edit: 2014-04-10 14:51:45

Sales in Australia were 108 including 95 cars and 13 station wagons
