The Commander has a 245 with a whopping 4 3/4 stroke. Very smooth, very quiet and lots of low speed torque.

Sure flathead sixes were already "old technology" by 1950, but all of those engines were very highly refined by then and provided great long-lived drivability, if not scintillating performance. That was true from Chryslers, KF, Studies and all the others. I find each of them a pleasure to drive in their own way.
