Studebaker Lark - 1st Gen

Studebaker

Founded in 1852, Studebaker continued to make various automobiles until it closed production in 1966. Studebaker moved into the car industry with electric vehicles in 1902 and gasoline automobiles in 1904. In 1962 Studebaker rolled out the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/studebaker/hawk-series/gran-turismo-hawk/">Gran Turismo Hawk</a> in an attempt to create a sleeker, flashier image. For the 1963 model year, the company introduced the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/studebaker/avanti/">Avanti</a>. The elegantly sporty Avanti was capable of reaching speeds of 170 MPH when fitted with an optional supercharged engine. It was the fastest production car ever on offer in America at the time.&nbsp;

Studebaker Lark - 3rd Gen

The third and final generation of <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/studebaker/lark/">Studebaker Lark</a> was introduced for the 1964 model year. This final generation saw a drastic change to the styling, bring the Lark more in line with conventional design at the time. Studebaker had slowly been phasing out the Lark name during the model&#39;s later years, with variants taking on names repsective to their trim level. These names included Daytona, Cruiser, and Challenger, with the Cruiser representing the premium offering. Sedan, coupe, and station wagon (known as the Wagonaire) body styles were offered, as were two inline six and one V8 engine options. Production of the Studebaker Lark ended in the United States in late 1963, but Canadian production lasted until 1966.
