It looks like a Commander LandCruiser more door. Maybe a '48 or '49.

Suicide rear doors, love it!!!

 

If you need parts check with the Studebaker Drivers Club website for vendors, and ask questions on the forum. Helpful folks there, ready to get your project running.

 

I've got a ? For the studebaker guys. Will a late model minivan motor work in a 49 stude???

 

Maybe, but I'd ask over on the Racing Studebakers Forum.
