The green car is also a Starlight. The black cherry coupe is a '51; most
people who remember Studes semm to have fixated on that bullet nose
("Uncle Ernie had one of those!"). But it only appeared in two model
years, 1950 and 1951. The '50s' bulllet had four vanes; the '51, just
three as with the car on the street. The '52 had two low grilles,
separated by an inverted chrome vee extending from the lip of the hood. We
really can't tell the date of the green car, but let's call it a '52,
anyway.

Starting in 1950, Studebaker was rather distinguished in its styling.
Previous years they were very similar to other cars on the road. You can
see a selection of different models here
