Well lets see a picture of what in hell you're talking about then,i don't think anybody other then you were talking about Studebakers. If you're referring to the Studebaker Daytona,you should of said so,or started your own thread as i don't think AMC and Studebaker were ever the same company.I went back and read every post,nowhere do i find the mention of Studebaker on this thread except for your one post,maybe you should also go back and read every post to.Here's a little tidbit for you,nowhere can i find any mention of AMC and Studebaker being one and the same company even in the 1960's

Studebaker Corporation
Studebaker was an American wagon and
automobile manufacturer based in
South Bend, Indiana, with a building at 1600 Broadway,
Times Square,
Midtown Manhattan,
New York City.
[1][2][3][4] Founded in 1852 and incorporated in 1868
[5] as the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company, the firm was originally a
coachbuilder, manufacturing wagons, buggies, carriages and harnesses.
Studebaker entered the automotive business in 1902 with
electric vehicles and in 1904 with gasoline vehicles, all sold under the name "Studebaker Automobile Company". Until 1911, its automotive division operated in partnership with the
Garford Company of
Elyria, Ohio, and after 1909 with the
E-M-F Company and with the
Flanders Automobile Company. The first gasoline automobiles to be fully manufactured by Studebaker were marketed in August 1912.
[6]: 231 Over the next 50 years, the company established a reputation for quality, durability and reliability.

After an unsuccessful 1954 merger with
Packard (the
Studebaker-Packard Corporation) failed to solve chronic postwar cashflow problems, the 'Studebaker Corporation' name was restored in 1962, but the South Bend plant ceased automobile production on December 20, 1963, and the last Studebaker automobile rolled off the
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, assembly line on
Saint Patrick's Day, March 17, 1966. Studebaker continued as an independent manufacturer before merging with Wagner Electric in May 1967
[8] and then Worthington Corporation in November 1967
[9] to form
Studebaker-Worthington.
