Not to toot my own horn but if you dont have a Studebaker buyers guide handy, you can always check out my site for production numbers of Studebaker 1960-1966. I am working on adding the first 50 years or so of Automobile production.

Thanks guys. My car came out of Orange County. A lot of money was spent redoing it about 15yrs ago. I have all the receipts for it. Someone obviously cared a great deal for it. I bought this one from Bill Oliver. The former owner gave up on it due to burnt points and it found its way to Bill's shop and then on to me.

poor thing needs to be rescued. Bertha(my wagon) is in much better shape than that one. She's got some rust on the doors..but everything else seems to be fine. i have replacement doors for her.

I wonder what happened to this one? [?]

Seems to me that pic appeared on the back cover of a Turning Wheels around 1979 or '80.

Fred's coverage of the '62 Larks shows a total of 10,522 4-dr wagons that year. Curiously, he mentions that DETAILED production tallys for '62 & '63 weren't available at the time of his writing about 62s.
They DO have totals for each body style, but no breakdown as per engine or trim level. He mentions that the only way to acquire such figures would be to laboriously go thru ALL the production records for 62 & 63. What Fred characterizes as a "tremendous task".[}]
There's a really gorgeous 62 wagon that belongs to a couple in the Inland Empire Chapter - or at least it did about 10 years ago. I recall fawning over it when I happened upon it by chance one day.
Then there's Bob - the 62 wagon I gave to arkiejazz a couple of years ago. Steve's been giving Bob a second lease on life as time and money permit.

Miscreant adrift in
the BerStuda Triangle


1957 Transtar 1/2ton
1960 Larkvertible V8
1958 Provincial wagon
1953 Commander coupe

And Bob shall live again!! Ran into a bit of frame rot that I hadn't anticipated. I feel like it's repairable though[)]
