1959 Studebaker Lark Additional Info:

Vehicle Original VIN : 59S3787
This 1959 Studebaker Lark has a great legacy that proved even economy cars had style back in the day. And with a great story to go with its exceptionally honest presentation, you're going to love this classic.
The upgraded light blue is a great color to fit in with the classic car community, but this one will never get lost in a crowd. After all, the look of a Lark is unique to Studebaker. The front has a grille so imposing that they would use it on the trucks. And there's a line of trim that starts here, wraps around the front, and loops all the way around the back. This same trim also showcases a stylish kick-up in the rear fender and the tasteful design of the trunk. And there's more great detail work with the wraparound rear window, wraparound tail light design, and even the bright chrome bumpers. It looks like a car that has been cared for correctly, and that's the true appeal here. We're told that one midwestern family bought it new, gave it to their son, and he didn't sell it out of the bloodline until 2016. So the kind of age in the finish and fully stock style - right down to the wheel covers - just gives this an honest appeal like you're buying the car mom and pop used to take out on the prairie roads in the summer.
The sea of blue continues inside. It's clean and complete, with just the right kind of age to go with this car's country cruiser survivor vibe. So while the value price could certainly let you budget for improvement, why would you? There's an absolute charm in the kind of steering wheel where you can feel the worn-in smoothness of the generation that came before you. Plus, cloth seats, a working heater, a smooth dash, and clean glass make it a comfy cruiser. And the one modern upgrade we're happy to spot is an auxiliary gauge trio neatly installed under the dash that provides the kind of info you want if you really are going to drive this Lark.
Under the hood is more of the honest presentation that makes this car fantastic. The 170 cubic-inch straight-six is year-correct, and in the seven years under the third owner, there have been good cruiser-grade investments like a new radiator and a rebuilt head. So it fires up eagerly and runs strong. And the inline motor feels good in the small/light Lark. This one really does provide the full classic car experience, right down to the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, maintenance records, service manuals, and spare components. The Lark was an economy car when new, and the price today still proves it knows the value of a dollar. So don't miss out on a terrific vintage deal with a great vintage story. Call today!!!
