Lark
(1959-1966)
1963 Cruiser
Yes, I know. A Cruiser is technically not a lark,
but I will put it here nonetheless. I have decided (since it's my page),
to put this project on it's own page, along with it's in-progress story.

If anyone is interested, I have spent a large
amount of time researching colors for 1963 Studebakers and have applied
a few of them to various pieces of sheet metal. I would be happy to pass
along that information.

1960 Lark Regal DeLuxe
Here is a picture of my first car (at the Valley
Vintage Car Show, in Fargo). Dad & I found it in northern MN when
I was in high school. I was excited because I needed a car! It had a V-8,
which was cool for a teenager. It only had 25K miles on it when we bought
it. It was also in excellent condition, needing only minor cosmetic repairs
(rusty rockert panels). You'll notice that it is a different color than
before. That was because I din't think it was too cool to have a green
car (too dull). Dad & I painted it with a very bright Studebaker
yellow (I don't remember the year of the color, just that it was VERY bright).
I used to cruise to school in this car, and race it (shhh. Don't tell anyone
:) ). This car has taken 2nd place at a Roughrider meet (in the AFTER condition
:) ).

This car belongs to member Emmanuel Kesler, husband to our Secretary/Treasurer,
Angie Kesler, and quite the Studebaker enthusiast. In addition, Emmanuel
is currently working on a C-Cab 1/2 ton pickup (1956-58?). The car is immaculate
inside & out. It has a 259 V-8 w/ 3 spd & OD. I will give more
info as I get it from Emmanuel.
