Actress Brooke Shields sitting on top of a 1950 Studebaker Commander Coupe! in the movie ‘Wanda Nevada with Peter Fonda
Romantic drama following the fortunes of a drifter named Beaudray Demerille (Peter Fonda) who wins a young orphan named Wanda (14 year old Brooke Shields) in a poker game and takes her gold prospecting in the Grand Canyon.
For 1950 and 1951, all Studebakers received a freshening of the 1947 design with the addition of the “bullet nose” (or “spinner”) front sheet metal design, sharing a similar appearance with the 1949 Ford sedan. When combined with the Starlight body style, Studebakers looked comparatively futuristic at the time. This version of the Starlight body style continued until the end of the 1952 model year, when it was sold side by side with a hardtop “Starliner” version of the same model.
