Will it run? 48 hours to start and drive a 1963 Studebaker Wagonaire parked 39 years!

On a road trip South we met great people who have a great car, a 1963 Studebaker Lark Wagonaire. We have 48 hours. Can we get this old car going? Will it start?

[@timsironworks9912]

The 1966 you're referring to is not the year, its more than likely a body number from the factory in South Bend. I have two Studebakers, a 1947 Champion 4 door and 1949 Champion 2 door. They both have that same style tag. Studebaker used those on their entire lineup of cars and trucks. It actually helps a lot when trying to find parts for the specific model. It indicates the body style, engine type and year. 63 for the year, V for 8 cylinder and should also have a "P" designation which indicates a 4 door wagon. He is exactly right, as they would've had Chevrolet engines in them if it was a 66, not to mention it would not have the Lark script on the front fenders.. they are not true Studebakers for that reason... only by name. The 1964 models were the last Studebakers to bear an actual Studebaker Skybolt 6 or V8 power plants in 259 or 289ci displacements. Ford was not the only one to build a 289. Those two engines replaced their first V8 which was a 232ci displacement, and the Skybolt size came around in 1961 to update the old Studebaker 170ci flathead sixes to an OHV design. That is a true 63 Wagonaire. Great find. The nice thing is there are still a ton of parts available for Studebakers from different sources. Just don't look to O Reilly or DuraTrash zone or Advance.. those kids in those stores have no idea what Studebakers even are. Glad to see someone saving it. People could get mad you took parts.. but thats one of many things that are great about Studebakers.. many parts are interchangeable between them.

[@whattherust]

That is a lot of good info. Thank you.

[@javierdenardo2607]

The 1965 and 1966 cars were true Studebakers, built in their Canadian plant in Hamilton, Ontario. However there were no engines supplied by Studebaker USA, so they had to source compatible engines and decided on the Cbevrolet engines built by McKinnon industries in St Catharines, Ontario (this is now a GM plant near Niagara Falls.

The 63’ Wagonaire was a predecessor to the 2004 GMC Envoy Xuv that also had a retracting roof. They both were prone to leaking, the gmc more than the studebaker.

Great job getting this thing going after such a long rest.
