Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present this 1963 Studebaker Lark Daytona Convertible - a rarely seen icon from one of America's oldest and most innovative automakers.
By the early 1960s, Studebaker was carving out a niche with bold, compact designs and sporty trims like the Daytona - aimed squarely at drivers looking for something different than the cookie-cutter offerings from the Big Three. This Lark Daytona Convertible, finished in dazzling Blue Mist Metallic, represents that spirit of independence with elegance and flair. With its crisp body lines, brightwork accents, and wide whitewall tires, this drop-top offers a nostalgic open-air experience wrapped in timeless style. Inside, the matching blue vinyl interior continues the coordinated theme, evoking an era when color and character ruled the road.
Under the hood, a Studebaker 259ci V8 engine delivers smooth and confident power, backed by the brand's Flight-O-Matic 2-speed automatic transmission - ideal for relaxed cruising and weekend drives. It's a wonderful mix of early-'60s charm and V8 performance, well suited for vintage car lovers and collectors alike.
