WE HAVE A 1951 STUDEBAKER COMMANDER THIS IS IN ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION: IT HAS BEEN IN STORAGE SINCE 1994 AND WAS A FUNCTIONING DRIVABLE CAR AT THAT TIME. IN 1951 STUDEBAKER PIONEERED THE FIRST SMALL BLOCK V8 (232.6 CU. INCH. COUPLED WITH THE STUDEBAKER DETROIT THREE SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISION INTRODUCED IN 1950 IT WAS A WNNING COMBINATION. THIS WAS THE TWO DOOR BULLET NOSED CAR OF THE 50's. HERE IS THE REMAINDER OF THE STORY: THIS CAR WAS DONATED TO THE EL RIAD SHRINE (ELRIAD.ORG) BY THE GRANDFATHER OF ONE OF OUR PATIENTS AT SHRINERS HOSPITAL. HE LEFT INSTRUCTIONS TO HIS LAWYER TO HAVE ONE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF EL RIAD SHRINE PICK ONE OF HIS CARS AND TO SELL THE CAR WITH THE PROCEEDS GOING TO THE SHRINERS HOSPITALS OF NORTH AMERICA AS A FUND RAISER. I HAVE BEEN DIRECTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF EL RIAD SHRINE TO AUCTION THE CAR OFF TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER IN AN EFFORT TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE HOSPITAL . I HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES AND THE DISCRIPTION OF THE CAR. THIS CAR IS IN GOOD TO ABOVE AVERAGE FOR A NON RESTORED VEHICLE. IS HAS SOME SMALL RUST BUT VERY LITTLE. AT ONE TIME IT WAS REPAINTED BUT THE INTERIOR IS IN ORIGINAL CONDITION ACCORDING TO MY SOURCE. LETS TALK ABOUT THE ENGINE. IT IS STUCK BUT WAS IN RUNNING CONDITION WHEN IT WAS PARKED IN 1994. THE CAR WAS STORED INSIDE BUT AFTER SETTING FOR 17 YEARS WITHOUT RUNNING THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER. UPON INSPECTION IT APPEARS THAT EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD IS IN ORIGINAL CONDITION AND WITH NOTHING MISSING. IN CHECKING OUT THE VALUE, IF THE ENGINE WAS NOT STUCK, THE CAR WOULD BE WORTH APPROXIMATELY $8000.00 I WILL LET YOU BE THE JUDGE OF ITS VALUE . I HAVE PUT A VERY REASONABLE RESERVE ON THIS AND ALSO A REASONABLE BUY IT NOW AS YOU CAN SEE. EVERY DIME OF THIS AUCTION WILL GO TO SHRINERS HOSPITALS FOR CHILDREN. THE SHRINE OF NORTH AMERICA HAS 22 HOSPITALS WITH SOME OF THEM BEING FORMED OVER 80 YEARS AGO. WHEN AT THAT TIME THE POLIO OUTBREAK WAS RUNNING RAMPIENT. THE HOSPITALS WERE FORMED TO HELP THE CHILDREN WITH THEIR NEEDS (COMPLETLY FREE OF CHARGE). IT HAS OVER THE YEARS TRANSFORMED TO TODAYS STANDARDS OF THREATING MANY OTHER CHILDRENS PROBLEMS, TO INCLUDE CLEFT PALET, AND BURNS. NOT TO MENTION THE MANY OTHER SERVICES AVAILBLE (WE TODAY EXCEPT THIRD PARTY PAY, INSURANCE), TO HELP THE RISING COST OF MEDICAL CARE. YOUR BID WILL BE USED TO HELP FUND OUR EFFORTS. AT THE CLOSE OF THIS AUCTION I WILL GET THE HIGHEST BIDDER IN CONTACT WITH THE ATTORNEY HANDLING THE ESTATE. HE WILL GET THE PAPERWORK IN ORDER AND I WILL MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE PICKUP OF THE CAR. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE SHIPPING AND PICKUP COSTS (WE WILL NOT HAVE ANY PICKUP COSTS BUT THE TRANSPORTATON COMPANY MIGHT) WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER.
