After Studebakers South Bend plant shut its doors in late 1963, Studebaker dropped all Avanti, Hawk, Challenger, Daytona Hardtop, Daytona Convertible, and truck production. To 'replace' the sporty Daytona models from 1964, for the 1965 model year Studebaker unveiled the Daytona 'Sports Sedan', which was basically a 1964 two-door sedan in Daytona trim with a special vinyl roof. The Daytona Sports Sedan was equipped with a GM sourced V8 and standard bucket seats. Only 1,626 Sports Sedans left Studebakers Hamilton, Ontario factory for 1965.
