Throughout our research, we have sighted several cars and spoken to several owners who have claimed additional colours were available on the 1966 Sports Sedan which were not listed on the official 1966 paint chart. We have since been advised by the administrator of the 1966 Daytona register that several spring colours were introduced, including Highland Red and Plum.  These colours below are what we had previously thought were sighted on 1966 model cars, however, are believed to not be correct. This section will be updated shortly.

Paint colour Studebaker code Ditzler code
Sienna Red P-6478 C 71513
Strato Blue P-6413 C 12878
Moonlight Silver P-6416 C 32383

*These colours are based on assumptions from a couple of 1966 models we have sighted that appear to be a close match to these earlier Studebaker colours.
