Studebaker Cars

It took a while but the look of The Lark grew on me .

Thanks for sharing!! I've had 7 Studebakers. My '62 Lark Cruiser was quite comfortable, particularly because the Cruiser was built on the longer station wagon frame with more legroom, particularly in the back. It had a 260 cubic inch V8 engine with an automatic transmission, but got 22 mpg on the highway. I've also had three 1962 Grand Tursimo Hawks, which were fantastic to drive. These had the 289 cubic inch V8 engines. One had an automatic, and the other two had 4 speed transmissions. They would get 24 miles per gallon on the highway.

Those cars look beautiful, I wish I had been able to see them when they were new and on the road 😢

Very cool! As a jazz fan, it was fun that the music for the first two ads were jazz classics with modified lyrics: the hit song/dance of the teens/'20's "Ballin' The Jack" in the '62 Lark ad; and the 1938 swing-era hit "Big Noise From Winetka" in the '58 full-line ad! Great stuff! Thanks for posting!

The Champion and its permutations ( Hawk / Golden Hawk ) were 30 years ahead of their time .
