1960 Studebaker Lark with special exterior finish

Guest · 2022-03-29T23:58:58Z

Here is a car that would make a a very interesting 1/43 model. For 1960, Studebaker had a very low production (1 ?) Lark convertible that featured a remarkable exterior (and interior) color and finish. The interior was a faux leopard skin texture. And the entire exterior was also covered in a light brown/tan color fur material. I don't think this would necessarily show up in any production records for 1960 Studebakers, but I personally can confirm at least one did exist. Since Studebaker was one of my Dad's clients in 1960, he had one of these publicity vehicles over at our house, perhaps in late summer, 1959. Here are some pictures showing my Dad behind the wheel, and also of me and my older sister sitting on the hood. We got a ride in this cool Lark and got plenty of looks as I recall. The car felt really neat, as one might expect and was fun just to sit on or lean against. Hopefully, it didn't smell of wet dog when it rained (!) but I guess you would just use carpet cleaner or maybe shampoo to clean up spots or dirt. LOL !
