Vehicle Description

4163-PHX 1953 STUDEBAKER COMMANDER RESTOMOD

Orange paint covers this 1953 Studebaker Commander Restomod from bumper to bumper. The body features the original bullet nose front end and curved rear quarter panels. Weld aluminum 15" wheels are fitted with 185/80R15 tires in front and 255/60R15 tires in back. Front suspension includes control arms and coil springs with a sway bar, while the rear uses leaf springs and traction bars. Dual FlowMaster exhaust exits from underneath, and disc brakes are installed at all four corners.

Gray custom upholstery transforms the cabin with a thoughtful mix of leather sides and cloth center inserts. Bucket seats provide modern support while maintaining the cabin's clean aesthetic. The dashboard receives a matching gray paint treatment that ties the interior theme together, while the aftermarket steering wheel adds a sporty touch. Three additional gauges beneath the factory cluster provide extra monitoring capability. The newer carpet and clean headliner complete the interior's well-executed transformation.

Beneath that distinctive hood sits a Chevrolet 327 cubic inch V8 engine, paired with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. The single 4-barrel Holley carburetor sits atop an Edelbrock Performer EPS intake manifold. A dual FlowMaster exhaust with shorty headers provides a properly aggressive sound. Stopping power comes from disc brakes at all four corners, while power steering makes navigating this custom cruiser effortless. The front independent suspension with sway bar and rear traction bars work in tandem with the 10-bolt rear axle.
