just to see what they looked like.
As found:
Mild cleanup to both the car and background:
Lowered, mild top chop, cleaned and shaved the front bumper and recontoured the wheel houses:
Slimmed the bumpers and cleaned up and lowered the headlamps:
Sectioned the body over the wheel houses:
I believed this car would support a mild chop, with or without a sectioned body and also believed it would benefit from simplicity in design and add-ons. What do you think?
Do any of them appeal more than others?
Enjoy!

I remember seeing a lot of Studebaker Larks when I grew up in the Buffalo New York area. I always liked them I thought they were pretty neat looking cars. But then again I like the 61 Plymouth and Dodge Lancer.

I have always liked the look of this Lark Daytona HT....something a bit different. A friend of mine had this exact same car, same color, back around 1970.
This version is my favorite of the changes made Terry.

Since Studebaker was a client of my Dad's back in those years, we had several Studebaker cars over at out house and our family also had a 1963 Studebaker station wagon with the sliding rear top. Some very cool cars and trucks were built by them at their factory in South Bend, Indiana.
