1962 Studebaker Daytona Unknown

The 1962-1964 Studebaker Daytona was the sportiest model in Studebakers compact line, introduced for 1962 along with a major reskinning by stylist Brooks Stevens -- who again accomplished wonders for South Bend., , The more flowing body lines for 1962-1963 were set off by a Mercedes-style square grille. Styling became more straight-edged and crisper, and a neat inverted-trapezoid grille was used. The top-line Daytona offered front bucket seats, center console, and (from 1963 on) full instrumentation. Reclining front backrests were optional., , Studebakers declining sales volume make these models quite rare today -- and theyre quite good cars at that, with a useful combination of performance and economy.
