Studebaker produced this Frua Design concept for the Lark?

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.

Thanks, but it's pass for me.

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.
