1962 Studebaker Lark 6 S review from Israel
"Astonishing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
During this 14 years of owning I replaced :
1) Three times the engine head.
2) Two times a major overhaul (inc' everything).
3) Alternator - replaced the common dynamo.
General comments?
One of the greatest and reliable car ever made in USA.
Those Lark's were the last gasp of Studebaker.
It's simple car that still can be used daily and manage well on highways with a safe speed of 110 km/h.
