1966 STUDEBAKER Daytona Sport 2-Door Sedan

This is the very last Daytona version. In 1966 Studebaker ceased car production due to serious financial problems. The curtain has fallen for one of the oldest American car manufacturers.

For 1966 industrial designer Brooks Stevens (1911-1995) had again restyled the Lark models. Now they had a new front end with a new grille and a new rear end. 1966 Studebakers remained further unchanged in appearance. However all L6 and V8 power sources came from Chevrolet.

During 1964, Studebaker dropped the Lark model name. Instead they were called by their trim-level name Challenger, Commander, Daytona and Cruiser.
Despite all affords and the good reputation and reliability of Studebaker, and the fact that the Lark was relatively cheap (special the V8 versions), sales went down year by year.
