The only Cars I have seen these on were all Canadian Built late '64's, I guess the 6 Cyl. Sport Sedans might have had these Flags with no V-8, but I thought they were never used after '64, since my '65 V-8 Sport Sedan had the regular V-8 Crossed Flags on it, that NO '64 Canadian models did, regardless of Engine Type.Last edited by StudeRich; 12-04-2011, 11:53 PM.StudeRich

Rich (and others):
Here's an odd 1964 Daytona Six sedan I am considering buying in central Indiana. The photos were taken within the last 4 months.
As you can see from the side-view photo and serial number, it is a Hamilton-built 1964 model year car built before December 31, 1963....and it has the non-8 checkered flags. (The car is an unusually-nice, mostly-original car with only 23,000 actual miles on it, too.)
This car is unusual in that it was sold new in Franklin IN (just south of Indianapolis), but built before December 31, 1963. I would have thought all 1964 model year Studebakers built in Hamilton during calendar year 1963 would have stayed in Canada, but this car proves at least one escaped! <GGG> BP
We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

I mean, when Studebaker discontinued South Bend assembly at the end of calendar year 1963, they had an enormous glut of unsold, 1964 South-Bend built models to unload anyway they could to dealers. Why would they go to the trouble of bringing in a Hamilton-assembled 1964 model built before January 1, 1964?
I know the above subject car was originally purchased by a little old lady, but it would be difficult to imagine her being so adamant about having a 1964 Daytona Six sedan that they brought one down from Canada because that specific model was not available from South Bend.
Weird stuff. BP

If I buy it, I'll pursue a Production Order because I agree, even that will be interesting as to final assembly date and destination.
Nice original interior, eh? BP

With all due respects to whoever supplied them to Hamilton Assembly, I believe they were also marketed as an off-the-shelf, aftermarket, generic decoration.
I wouldn't be surprised to find them in a catalog such as Speedway Motors, Summitt, Jegs, or even J. C. Whitney, but don't have the time right now to go on a safari looking for them. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.
