I'll throw this out there for some help. Were all the dash gauges and knobs for the 1962 Larks white ? Did any come black ?

1962 Lark confusion: white vs. black

I do recall about a year ago obtaining a small black faced clock that evidentially came off a 1962 Lark Regal. I have since sold it but I do have a white faced clock that looks almost identical to a 1961 Lark clock with the exception of a black ring that came of a 1962 Deluxe model. I will try to post some pictures later.

Yep all White, including the Window Crank Knobs. the '61 and '66 "Plastic" Trim (Knobs) were Black.
It would make a lot of difference on other things than knobs though when you have '62 "Deluxe's" vs "Regal's","Daytona's" and "Cruisers" which all had the "Nicer" Black Gauges, Dash padding etc.
The Regal Dash in Pic #2 has the wrong Instrument Cluster and probably Speedometer.
Another "cheap trick" Studebaker used to make the '62 Larks look different than the '61's, is the '62 Deluxe's that had the Glove Box Door and Instrument surround area PAINTED, were dash color on '62, and White on '61, which IMHO actually looked better, a step backwards?Last edited by StudeRich; 12-20-2013, 02:25 PM.StudeRich

I have two identically optioned Daytona convertibles in my fleet, both have white knobs and black faced gauges. the dashes are both painted wood grain which include the gauge surrounds and the glove compartment doors, could be a Daytona or convertible only item, anyone know?-Bill

What's interesting in what appear to be factory photos in 62 Champ's post is that they both show a hand throttle with a "turn to lock" feature. What would be the purpose of a hand throttle? Could it be used as a simple cruise control?Last edited by dpson; 12-21-2013, 05:54 AM.Dan Peterson

62 Champ: What are those pictures of/from ? A Cruiser ? There are many things in your pics that suggest a modified interior.....DO you know for sure ? I'm questioning this based upon my '62 Lark wagon (P6), which I think is original (??) It has black gauges and black clock, white knobs, white shift and directional levers and window cranks....It also has the 2 white outboard gauges for amps and Oil pressure like pic'd above.....We need an educated summary ...... Rich ??
