The Studebaker Commander was produced for several years, representing several bodystyle changes, and first appeared in the 1920s. The company would continue to use the name until their demise in 1966. There were only a few years where the Commander did not appear in Studebaker’s line-up during that time; those were in 1936 and 1959-1963. When the name first appeared in 1927, it was Studebaker’s middle-series. As the years progress, it would move up and down market, often changing positions from year to year. The name would continue until it was dropped in 1935, only to reappear in 1937 where it served as the company’s least expensive model, taking the place of the previous Studebaker Dictator.
