Many years ago I drove a 1954 Kaiser Darrin Roadster. It was rare car then and still very rare now. It got me to thinking, what is/are considered to be the rarest post war Studebaker? Any thoughts?

With 453 Kaiser Darrin Roadsters built, a lot of engine designation Stude models would be rarer, but no post war model designations would be that rare. The '64 Avanti would probably come closest with about double production of the KD. Now, if you want to get into option designations, my '64 GT Hawk is a one of one - only one built with that serial number.Last edited by jlmccuan; 06-24-2012, 07:18 AM.Jim

Ooops, Matt, I forgot about the "Studebaker II's". lol Might put the Packard Hawk's on that list. Still, however as a model's total production since the KD's production lifespan was one year any Studebaker/Packard nameplate is going to be pushed to competeLast edited by jlmccuan; 06-24-2012, 07:31 AM.Jim

How about the diesel sedans and wagons in '63? I don't think anyone knows how many were produced, but Torrey Kirby, owner of the '63 two-door diesel said there were two two-doors and ten wagons. There were also taxis with diesels.Paul Johnson, Wild and Wonderful West Virginia.

Disregarding specific options like engine and transimission type and also disregarding trim type, any hardtop and convertible (and pickup) from 1964 is very low production. According to my copy of 'New Complete Book of Collectible Cars 1930-80', only 703 convertibles and 809 Avantis were produced. Anybody know how many Champ pickups were produced that year?sigpic

One more truck to throw into the mix: 1959 'Scotsman' 4E2D 4X4 1 of 1. Somewhat rare just being a Scotsman pickup... rare rare being the only Scotsman 4E2/122 Studebaker built with the Napco uplift.
