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.
