Having firmly caught the Studebaker bug with my ‘51 Champion, I’m currently chasing two completely different cars: a local 52 Starlight Commander but also a distant 65 2-door Daytona or Cruiser.
First question I have that hasn’t been answered by this Forum nor the typical Google search: were the 2-door ‘65 models always Daytonas or were there 2-door Cruisers? It’s currently badged as a Daytona.
Second is with the VIN on the car I’m chasing . As a Canadian vehicle, the first digit is a “C”, but the second is a “1” (letter I), and the limited info out there says this should be a Cruiser, where Daytonas apparently had “5” in the second place.
Can experienced folks here enlighten me? What is this 2-door Studebaker VIN trying to tell me?
(iI don’t have the body tag info at hand. Sorry).
