Sure, it's beautiful, and it's big new feature is an oval wheel, for greater leg clearance.
If you enjoy it, send a dollar to the Studebaker National Museum, http://www.studebakermuseum... I visited there in July... check out my online story at http://www.weekenddriver.com/ and look for the "Great Car Museum Tour Blog" button.
And if you're touring in Southern California, check out my book and the rest of the web site at http://www.weekenddriver.com.

STUDEBAKER IS BACK !!! GOOGLE>>>"plunderhere" ENTER>>"UPERCAR"
Look ma, no seat~belts !
Remember, the 1959-63 Lark and '64-'66 Studebakers were based on the 1953-58 Studebaker body shell (minus the overhang of the earlier models); the 4-door wagon is based on the 1957-58 Broadmoor/Provincial body shell, and it "looks" older than the others. The hardtop roof was new for '61, also...
Studebaker was always re-using parts and designs. They really subscribed to the ideas of not fixing what isn't broke and not wasting money on things like styling when they already had a hot look.
Nice old recording :) BTW Lark Estate for some reason looks older than other types of this car...
Those cars were ahead of their time. I always liked them.
And on top of that, remember the "scandalous" Jack Paar comment about the "water closet"?
Gosh, wouldn't mind a little restraint in what's on TV nowadays. Btw, love the Studebaker commercials!
Damn, I'd love to find my parent's '68 Olds Vista Cruiser! A truly beautiful car but was sold during the artificially-created gas shortages of the early 1970's.
