The Studebaker Commander is the model name of several automobiles
produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana
(United States) and Studebaker of Canada Ltd of Walkerville and,
later, Hamilton, Ontario (Canada). Studebaker began using the
Commander name in 1927:?p258? and continued to use it until 1964,
with the exception of 1936 and 1959-63. The name was applied to
various products in the company's line-up from year to year. The
Commander was the company's mainstream product, the Studebaker
Champion was the junior model, and other models were short lived or
renamed as market conditions required.
1920s
Until the appearance of the 8-cylinder President in January 1928,
all Studebaker cars of the 1920s were sixes. There were three basic
models - the Light Six, the Special Six and the Big Six, developing
40 bhp (30 kW; 41 PS), 50 bhp (37 kW; 51 PS), and 60 bhp (45 kW; 61
PS) respectively at 2000 rpm. The first Commander, in 1927, was a
continuation of the mid-range Special Six, with a 226 cu in (3.7 L)
engine. Their inbuilt durability and toughness gained them great
renown under worldwide conditions. The 1928 GB Commander was a
descendant of the Big Six, being powered with the proven 354 cu in
(5.8 L) engine, modified to deliver 75 bhp (56 kW; 76 PS) at 2400
rpm. In October 1928, three Commander sixes lined up at the
Atlantic City Speedway to challenge the 15,000 mi (24,000 km) speed
record (64.25 mph (103.40 km/h)) held by the much higher-priced
Auburn straight-eight Speedster.
