End of Production Models
The last South Bend car and the last Canadian car are on display at the Studebaker National Museum in South Bend, Indiana. The final U.S. built Lark-type was retained by the company instead of being delivered to the Pennsylvania dealer who had ordered it. The car has approximately 30 mi (48 km) on its odometer. The final Canadian car, a 1966 Cruiser, was driven several thousand miles by a company executive (records indicate that it was built for delivery to the company's Parts and Service Division in South Bend). It was eventually retired to the company's collection and has been restored in recent years to as-new condition.
Ilin Plant at Haifa, Israel continued to produce the car through 1966.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or models:
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
“The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
