Went on a Studebaker Lark building kick in the last few months and ended up with these shown in a period dealership.  All are Brooklin conversions of the turquoise two door sedan.  Four door wagon, two door hardtop, top up or top down convertible, four door sedan.  Champ pickup is NEO and Studebaker transporter truck cab is Brooklin.  Hawk is Road Signatures.  Dealer with lights, signs, rotating rooftop turntable is Menards. All I'm missing in the Lark range is a two door wagon.

Very nice display sir. I often wondered why Brooklin didn't do more with their Lark; as you have shown, the variations look great!

Very cool! I have always liked the Lark style. When I see them today, which isn't often. The quality built into these cars is always a pleasure to see. Not having your talents to build my own, I will have to wait for someone to make them available. I do have the '60 Brooklin and several 1962 & 1963 versions, so for now, I'll have to be good with that.
That's a very nice setup. I am still considering picking up one of those dealership buildings.

John, Since Studebakers were sold in Australia, I understand that Trax's future plans include a Lark from the early 60s but not sure which body style or year. There's been no official announcement or photos. I was too impatient to wait, so just built my own.
