Came across this wagon and am curious about the rarity of this model.

Rarity of a Daytona wagon ?

If the Body Tag on the Right side of the Firewall says: 64V (or S) P8, it's a Daytona, otherwise it COULD be a P4 Commander, or even a lowest level P2 Challenger.
With the Body Side Mouldings gone it is hard to tell which trim level it is.
If it HAS a Sliding Roof it is a "Wagonaire", if it is a Fixed roof, it is a Wagon.
All Studebakers are actually rare, but '64 Sliding Roof Wagonaires are rarer than Daytona 2 Door Hardtops, and 4 Doors.
The truth is, if you are trying to relate "Rare" to "Value", it really does not work, because "CONDITION" is the important factor here, not Rarity.
That Roof Rack, if it is in fair shape IS Rare!Last edited by StudeRich; 06-11-2018, 11:49 AM.StudeRich

Rich: If you enlarge the photo and look real closely, you can see the "D" outline of the Daytona script that was on the RF fender.
Just Lookin: Studebaker built 1,543 1964 Daytona V-8 Wagonaires and another 723 1965 Daytona V-8 Wagonaires, for a total of 2,266 that could look like that. One of them doesn't, mine, shown here still on the trailer from southern Texas the day after it arrived in central Indiana:
Exact color breakdown of how many 1964 Daytona Wagonaires were built in each of the colors is not known. However, I extrapolated the percentage of 1964 Astra White Daytona convertibles that were built, since that is known, and applied it to 1964 Daytona Wagonaire production.
Doing that indicates approximately 400 1964 Daytona Wagonaires were Astra White.
Here's another one of them, a rare Astra White 4-speed Daytona Wagonaire now owned by SDC Trim Parts vendor Will Sander:

There was (still is?) a white 1964 Daytona Wagonaire somewhere along the east coast that's been for sale off and on for years, into which somebody put a SBC...and it went downhill from there. I corresponded briefly with the owner/seller when I was looking for one, and I bought mine five years ago! BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?"

OR... if people cannot tell a 90 Degree V8 Studebaker Block from a narrow Block 289 Ford, what are the chances some can't tell a Stude. V8 from a Chevy?StudeRich

Rich if what you say is true how many 64 Daytona 2 door hard tops were built? I have always thought about 1200.Candbstudebakers

THAT IS really ODD!
Any sign that the Commander Side Mouldings were added along with the 283 Engine, Flanged Axle etc.?
You DO have a Daytona Interior, "C" Pillar Canadian Daytona Crossed Flags, Stainless Steel Door Window Mouldings, and NO Drip Rail Mouldings, so not likely a Commander. What about the Body Tag, is it a Y8 Daytona?StudeRich

Rich, you commented 7+ years ago when I first got it (cleared up confusion I had):
