I have no personal interest or stake in the eventual sale of this 1963 Studebaker Lark Custom 2dr Sedan.

The 2 doors and the 3 speed stick with overdrive makes this interesting.

Then head a few blocks south to Boulevard Park and grab this sedan....

I'm a big fan of the Lark, and may own one someday. Might Studebaker have sold more overdrives than anyone else? Sadly, that OHV six doesn't have a great reputation. I'd have to hold out for an eight. I do like this color.

Years ago, the solution one Studebaker loyalist had for his problematic OHV six: replaced it with a low-mileage 185 ci flathead six from a 1955-'58 Champion.  He drove that car for years until rust got the frame.
