            That Cruiser looks especially clean for a native Midwest car...........and also has some nice options i.e. PS and power disc brakes.

            Sold my 1962; Studeless at the moment

            Borrowed Bams50's sigline here:

            "Do they all not, by mere virtue of having survived as relics of a bygone era, amass a level of respect perhaps not accorded to them when they were new?"

                Looks very nice. I see the tailite bezels are painted , that kind of says its an earlier 66 . I'm not sure of the exact date when they switched to chrome ones but it was sometime in January I think.

                    Based on the pics You'll have a great first Studebaker .I had a 65 Cruiser that was just about identical inside and out,what a nice riding/driving daily driver it was.

                        My Cruiser is C534088 date of manufacture approximately February 8th,1966. As 2R5 says your rear tail light bezels are painted not chromed so that would make it an earlier model. If your sill plates are narrow that is another indication it is an earlier model there was a change to a wider sill plate later in the year. When/if you buy the car request (purchase) the build sheet from the Museum. Some of the 1966 build sheets were misplaced so let's hope the one for that particular vehicle is still available.

                              January 17th was when the wider scuff plates were phased in: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...hlight=ac-4002
