Studebaker produced this Frua Design concept for the Lark?

1960 Studebaker Lark Frua 314
1960 Studebaker Lark Frua statue
1960 Studebaker Lark Frua coupe front 600
1960 Studebaker Lark Frua LR door 600

That grille design is a monstrosity…reminds me of the ‘61 DeSoto…but the rest of the car is fine.

I like the two door version, the four door, not so much. The grill is a bit large and the four headlights appear to dominate and look 'stuffed in'. Other than that, I like the design.

It's a very clean line as one would expect of Frua but the front treatment should have found its way into the bin.

Everyone else's comments went through mind at the time I looked at the images. The 2 door is nice. Four door, not so much. Back end is clean but that front is atrocious.

It is very nice and quite interesting. Studebaker was a client of my Dad's back then and we had a 1963 Studebaker Wagoneer.

Dr. Frankenstein ordered two in late 1960; he loved them.  😬 😬 😬

yeh I'm with most here, car itself is OK, both 2 and 4 door, I like the body shape but the front end is a mess

The design shown is unattractive to me.  I quite liked the Studebaker Lark Daytonas of the early 60's.

I find this one particularly attractive. That grill is unique and I find myself rather liking it. Thanks for posting this one John.

As I type this, I'm listening to country singer Leroy Van Dyke's song, "Walk On By".  Exactly what I'd do if were to come across this odd looking car at a show.
