Closing in on the full line of 1960 Larks, I just completed a convertible conversion of a Brooklin two door sedan. Still looking for more "bargain" Larks as I need to create a four door sedan and maybe a two door wagon. Yes, I know John Roberts has some convertibles on Ebay but way over my budget. On this job I was able to use a displaced 1954 Dodge convertible top which with only minor modification fits the Lark well. So this model can be displayed top down with boot or top up. Small hub caps had to be converted to full wheel covers using silver wire rings and some "non skid" paperclip wire for the serrated look. It's all about innovating.

John, that’s a beautifully crafted collection of Studebaker vehicles that you have created from the original Lark by Brooklin. Really amazing work. The pickup is a beauty. That convertible could pass as one done by ASC. Nice!

Very nice once again, John. Your fine work continues to amaze me. The Studebaker has always appealed to me.

Well, you KNOW I love it! Nice work! I especially like the "top-up, top-down" option. 😀

Very nice job. I always wondered why Brooklin never produced this variation and the 2 door wagon as well for that matter; I think they would have sold well.
