My father owned a ‘51 Studebaker. Were they all called Commanders or was that just one of several models?

It is lame and the new spring professional football names and logos are pretty bad too.

” Were they all called Commanders or was that just one of several models?”

The Commander was a shorter version of the Land Cruiser. You can tell them apart by the rear vent windows on the Cruiser which are absent on the Commander. I don’t know what other model names they had, but there were other models.

The only way I’d watch NFL football today is if the losing team at each game was executed.

The NFL version of football is becoming wiffle-ball. All serious contact is very much controlled. But for every trend there seems to be a counter-trend -- and that seems to be MMA.

A good case could be made for that. But as a diehard Redskin fan from ghe 1950s I prefer the Washingtom Twats.

And I was just getting used to 'WFT' -- or considering the quality of play, the 'WTF?'.

Okay, campers, rise and shine. Don't forget your booties...

Got to have Wings in order to keep up. Redskins, the Big W,

Here's the anticipated logo, the "missing 23rd letter" (when switched to a Hebrew keyboard, the W is the apostrophe/geresh key which represents a missing letter). The key is located right under the "23".

What the traditions have been saying all along. It's the very last entry in the Tree of Souls (pg. 522-523) --

670. A NEW TORAH

God is destined to give a new Torah to Israel at the hands of the Messiah, as it is said, "A new Torah shall come forth from me" (Isa 51.4). That new Torah will be written with 23 letters in the alphabet. That extra letter had accompanied the other 22 from the first, but it had been invisible. With the addition of that letter, the letters of the Torah will combine in a different way, and new meanings will emerge.

Some say that the Messiah will clarify the words of that new Torah. Others say that Israel will not need the instructions of the Messiah in the days to come. Instead, they will receive instruction from God Himself...

Origins and early years (1932 - 1945)

The city of Boston was awarded an NFL franchise on July 9, 1932, under the ownership of George Preston Marshall.[3] The team was named after the Boston Braves baseball team, with whom they shared Braves Field. The following year, the team moved to Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, and changed the team's name to the "Redskins". Marshall hired William Henry "Lone Star" Dietz, who claimed to be part Sioux,[4][5] as the team's head coach.[6] In their final season in Boston, the Redskins earned a spot in the NFL championship against the Green Bay Packers, losing 21–6.

The Redskins moved to Washington, D.C., in 1937; Marshall later said Boston showed a lack of interest in the team.

The '53 Commander was indeed a beautiful automobile, one of the Loewy Coupes.
