Richard: Love the Studebaker Starlight coupe. I do have two of the 1950 (airplane nose) Starlights, but no '47 model. Where can I find out more about that "Conquest" model? Is it priced up there with Brooklin models?
And the '48 Hudson, (identical to the '49) would also be a stellar addition to my layout, but I'm not familiar with "American Excellence", either. As a teenager, I owned both years of cars, one the deluxe coupe.
I don't consider myself as a true model car collector, it's just that I like to have the variety of cars that would typically be seen in a downtown/train station area in 1950. So, I can use older models of cars from the 1930's and 1940's but nothing newer. Amidst the traffic jam are various car models not available from your more common inexpensive, $10 or less, cars. I do have a dozen, or so, Brooklin, Solido, Franklin Mint and others that I picked up "cheap". Makes the scene more realistic from my point of view. Like they say: "Variety is the spice of life."
