I haven't attached a name. Perhaps I should call it Loren in honor of my grandfather who worked in the studie factory in 39 and who may have built the seat for it.
In your link photos 23 and 30 are interchanged.
I have a 39 commander like your dads which I bought for parts for the Coupe Express. It has a wonderful art deco interior including a wood grained steel dash. I believe I paid $1000 for it as well last year.
It would be my pleasure to give you a ride in it when it is finished enough
