I have a 1955 studebaker commander that I am interested in trying to sell. I have owned the car for 18 years. It was a gift from my grandfather. I have no clue as to how to go about selling an antique car. I don't want to be ripped off but I also want to be reliastic about what it is work.

This might be a starting place on determining value:

Try watching eBay Motors for awhile to see what similar cars bring
You may check completed auctions for similar year models on eBay. You can see what some of the vehicles attributes and faults are and what they sold for. You can also check here with persons who are fond of that particular model as well as those that don't give them the time of day for an average gauge to determine value. I would have to say that unless it was kept clean and sheltered you won't find much demand as they are not yet considered as desirable but more an entry level Studebaker or one that simply adds to a signature list of steeds. Check cmpleted sales below.

You know JP, sometimes you come up with some really funny lines!

remind me to buy Nates cars and not Johns. BOSEG
I like that car - enjoyed watching it show itself and then come to life.N8, you worked hard on it - mind you the 55 is looking pretty dapper in it's own right.
I'm not sure if I'm glad JP and I are at opposite ends of the continent or sad.. OK, I'm sad, but my wallet's happy :)
