Restored 1962 Studebaker Lark in AMAZING Condition - A Classic Car Comeback
Today Rob and I are out here in Iola, WI at the Iola Car Show and we're here with Janine and this beautiful Studebaker behind us. Janine, thanks for taking some time with us today.Absolutely. It's been a labor of love.Like what can I say? Now this is a car that's got some history with your family.
That's right.So who first purchased it? My dad bought it in 1982 for $800 at a farm sale in Kewanee, IL...
Meet Janine, who took her father's car, an 1962 Studebaker Lark, restored it to its former glory, and we must say, the car looks AMAZING! It's a true Classic Car Comeback.
Unearth the story of the 1962 Studebaker Lark, a landmark model by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation in South Bend, Indiana. Understand why this classic vehicle transformed the fortunes of the once-struggling automobile giant.
The Studebaker Lark is a compact car that was produced by Studebaker from 1959 to 1966.
From its introduction in early 1959 until 1962, the Lark was a product of the Studebaker-Packard Corporation. In mid-1962, the company dropped "Packard" from its name and reverted to its pre-1954 name, the Studebaker Corporation. In addition to being built in Studebaker's South Bend, Indiana, home plant, the Lark and its descendants were also built in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, from 1959 to 1966 by Studebaker of Canada Limited. The cars were also exported to a number of countries around the world as completed units and completely knocked down (CKD) kits which were then assembled at a local factory.
Lark-based variants represented the bulk of the range produced by Studebaker after 1958 and sold in far greater volume than the contemporary Hawk and Avanti models. Beginning with the 1963 Cruiser, the Lark name was gradually phased out of the company catalog and by early 1964, Lark-based models were being marketed under Commander, Daytona and Cruiser nameplates only. The Studebaker company, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1952, ceased automobile production in 1966.

Beautiful story, I inherited many of my dads cars over the years. I don't have kids, I have cars but my wife has seen me through about 20 cars in 5 years, just now getting into Studebakers after having 7 Powell's, a 40 Nash, a 54 Packard.

Cute. Looks like a baby Mercedes, Studebaker's sales partner in 62. I'm always bemused by these Studebaker's with a radio delete plate. They must have done a lot of humming.

I'm not a Studebaker expert, but I believe that engine is called the "Skybolt Six." They took the original flathead 6 and put an overhead valve head on it. I understand it's an excellent engine, durable and reliable. This car is a real beauty, I hope you continue to enjoy it for many years ro come! 😀

They are incredibly cool cars. I love Studebakers
Magnificent old Studie there! Just visited the Studebaker museum in South Bend yesterday, and this looks as nice or better than any I saw there. Love the very sporty two door hardtop configuration.

It’s a beautiful car and I visited the Studebaker museum in August and I agree with you!
Only reason why I searched for the Studebaker. My daughter today saw one for sale $1500. Title and drive home. I’m not sure what to do. She love this car. She’s 19 love old cars.

That’s awesome! If you’re not familiar with studebaker, I would suggest calling up or contacting one of the many studebaker clubs, and ask them about the car, what issues can you expect etc. I would think someone in their club would be knowledgeable enough to give you some good advice on whether or not the price is to high….what problems should I look for etc. And just remember classic cars need taking care of, and more $ down the road should be expected. Thanks for watching
Studebaker afficionado here. I own three, a 1941 President 4dr, a 1950 Commander 4dr and a 1955 President coupe. I don't own a Lark right now but I have owned three in my time. I hope to get a Lark as soon as I can find a good one. I must say that yours is one of the finest I have seen. Beautiful car, kudos to you.

The headlights on this red one, must be what inspired some CORVAIRS to have the same. Twin headlights, with the small lights built into the unit, just below.

My grandparents had a 1963 Lark and it had the Chrysler 3.7L 225 CID Super Slant 6 (which I found out this engine was taken out of a 1978 Dodge Diplomat SE )with a torque-flite 727 3 speed automatic PS/PB AM/FM Cassette his had factory A/C he paid 75.00 for it in 1983. Im guessing now that Chrysler 225 Slant 6 and 727 Chrysler Torque-flite 3 speed 727 was not factory? He drove it until 1992 when he replaced it with a 1982 Citation X11 which was alright but almost broken all the time. He never had problems with the Lark as he did with the POS GM X car.
