Vehicle Description
Compact yet full of character, the 1962 Studebaker Lark wears a
vibrant red finish that perfectly complements its clean,
distinctive lines. Four doors provide easy access while maintaining
the balanced proportions that made Studebaker's design language
unique among American manufacturers. Recently shod with fresh
2024-dated 195/65R15 tires mounted on factory 15-inch wheels, this
Lark sits with just the right stance. The older restoration
preserves the straightforward elegance that defined Studebaker's
practical approach to automotive styling, with every body panel
showing careful attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Gray vinyl and cloth materials create a comfortable cabin
environment that stays true to the car's original personality. The
bench seat spans the width of the interior, providing ample room
for passengers front and rear. From the driver's position, the
column-mounted shifter falls naturally to hand for operating the
3-speed manual transmission. An aftermarket AM/FM cassette player
and auxiliary oil gauge have been thoughtfully integrated, adding
just enough modern convenience without compromising the authentic
vintage atmosphere. The dashboard retains its original clarity and
simplicity, reflecting the functional design philosophy that
Studebaker engineers favored.
Under the bonnet rests a 170 cubic inch inline-6 engine that
emphasizes efficiency and reliability over outright performance.
Connected to a 3-speed manual transmission, power flows smoothly to
the rear wheels for a driving experience that's both engaging and
manageable. A Carter single-barrel carburetor handles fuel mixing
duties, contributing to the economical operation that made these
cars popular with practical-minded buyers. The suspension combines
coil springs up front with leaf springs in the rear, delivering a
ride quality that strikes an effective balance between comfort and
road feel while maintaining the car's sure-footed handling
characteristics.
