Meet this 1964 Studebaker Supercharged Daytona - Super Lark Tribute!

Outstanding Studebaker ❤ The last time I saw one this nice was in the early 70's. Fantastic work Walt.

Great job Walt on this amazing Studebaker! A lot of thought went into this and the finished product is fabulous. Thanks for a really enjoyable video guys!

My Uncle had an Early 50s Studie, All I remember is it was a two door and quite beat up as he was an Alcoholic and didn't maintain anything. When ever I ent anywhere with him, it was $1.00s worth of gas and a quart of oil. I wish I was older when he had the Studie as it was a cool looking car to a pre-teen boy.

Walt's Studie looks fantastic. Would give some of those rice burners a shock at the traffic light Grand Prix. 🙂

Whenever I see a Studebaker it reminds me of Mr Ed........ The T.V. show.
Nothing like a "Pocket-Rocket" Great car and thanks to If This Car Could Talk for posting.

Very interesting. I never heard of this model though a friend in highschool had a 62 GranTurismo 289 4 Spd and my Dad had a 53 1/2 ton Study pickup

That is my grandpa I got to work on it with him 😊

Love you 🥰

Thank you Walt! The car is fabulous!. Engine sounds great and what a job adding the AC too!. Studebaker rules!

Beautiful car guys beautiful car

I know walt and this car and he got me involve with the studebaker club alot of nice cars there thanks for this video so people can remember that the big 3 were not always the only way

Easily the nicest Studebaker I've seen in years. Taking the effort to find and install the performance and "nice to have" parts was a real labor of love. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work! Wish they made more of them. Or you made more of them lol. Looks like u have the coolest(literally and figuratively) lark out there.

My dad had a 1961 Daytona hardtop. Four on the floor. Would hold its own with 348 chevy's. Great little car. Wished we had kept it.

Absolutely love that thing!! Wonderful job sir. The 'improvements' you added are perfect. And, you are right, it's the perfect size.

Very nice, I think the hawk was my favorite. Brings back memories too.

Reminds me of a amc rambler

Awesome job, cuz! Great car, too!

Studebaker went on a performance spree with Avanti, and offering the R2 engine in the Lark and Gran Turismo. Unfortunately for them, the Big Three added muscle around the same time. An R2 Daytona is rare, and this is one of the very best!

Hello From South Bend Indiana Your Studebaker is Stunning, I went through the Museum Years ago and I Absolutely Fell in LOVE with the Concept Car Called The Predicter it's a Shame it never got the chance to go into Production. Good Job 👍 on the Restoration 👍

Well done! Looking forward to more of your reviews.

Beautiful interior. I would only add factory headrests, or even aftermarket to give it an even more European look, or Mercedes look, which Studebaker was well acquainted with by 1964.

Great video as always, I would've imagine what Studebaker would've been like had both Studebaker and Packard merged together with Hudson and Nash along with Kaiser and Jeep to create AMC in 1954?

❤

Great work Dubby! Looks and sounds excellent! Cant wait to drive this one with jakie next and get the R3 Avanti completed.

We love you and are proud of you

What a nice Studebaker!! Awesome feature. Love to see this car!

Wow, that is awesome! I'm a huge Stude fan, the '64 Gran Turismo Hawk and this Lark. Honest, affordable and reliable vehicles.
Show up to Cars and Coffee in one and heads will turn.

After Sherwood Egbert took early retirement due to cancer, studebaker execs decided they couldn’t bring the automobile part of the company back to profitability, so they simply stopped making cars. They had dealer commitments to fulfil so they left the Canadian plant open until 66. Studebaker continued on as a company. They merged a few times and finally shut down completely in 1979 as studebaker worthington corporation. They owned stp, McCullough/Paxton superchargers, gravely tractors, and many other companies along the journey after discontinuing automotive production. Had Sherwood not gotten cancer and retired, studebaker could’ve been a huge part of the muscle car wars of the 60’s. Instead they merely started it with the super lark, super hawk gt, and avanti.. I own a 58 silver hawk. My father and grandfather had many studebakers from the 20’s on up through the 50’s. My car is a 289, 4bbl, with the t85 3 speed, overdrive and 3.31 twin traction rear axle.

We have the same 64 Daytone in white with blue interior, 289 non super charged. Drive it every weekend.

Gorgeous restoration. My family had a 1964 Studebaker Cruiser in dark blue, automatic and air conditioning, It was a beautiful car. We took it on trips because it was more comfortable than our 1965 Ford Galaxies. Love Studebaker's coil spring seats, vanity mirror, and the dash with rocker switches, padded dash, and the stainless steel hub caps and strip between tail lights. I miss that car.

Nice. One. I Like The Pickup Truck.

Love the sleeper.😊😊

Great video. Always been a fan of Studes. I had a great Uncle and a good buddy's dad who both had early 60s Larks driven well into the 70s.
My favs go a little further back as I really like the futuristic streamlined look of the '53 era cars.
I'd love to know how much of a challenge mating the Stude engine to a 700R4 tranny was.

Who keeps playing with the microphone?

When I was a kid my cousin had as I remember a 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk and I really liked the fins.

I had a 62 Lark given to me and a friend when I was 14 from his aunt. It had 44,000 miles with a thrown rod. We got it going and tore up the back ally with that little 170 until it totally quit and I turned 16. I tore that engine out 5 times as the crank was actually shot and ate up bearings. That’s what started a lifetime of hotrodding for me which I still enjoy at age 68. I still have a couple that I drive and play on.

Best regards !

Studebaker didn't "move" their operations to Canada for the last two years. All Studebakers sold outside the USA, in the Export Market came from their Canadian Operations. They opened their facilities in Canada in 1947. In 1963, Studebaker merely closed the South Bend Indiana plant down and Mishawkowa both in Indiana. All their other plants in Canada and around the world remained open. The last Studebaker rolled out of the Haifa plant in Israel in 1967

Are these things solid lifters, sounds like it 🤷‍♂️

I grew up in the rust belt during the 1970’s, in my town there was a two-stroke Saab guy, a huge Corvair graveyard, and the Studebaker guy.
Briooks Steven’s designed some beautiful looking cars like this Daytona for Studebaker.

Such a fabulous car!

NICE
