crazyjim Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Got this puppy in a trade with a fellow FAST member. It was a convertible so grafted on a roof, put on a set of Pegasus Phat Daddy wheels with disc brakes, took it down and shot it with HOK wild cherry kandy over an orion silver base.

espo Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Always thought the Larks were kinda cool looking anyway, but with that paint job it really looks outstanding. The shape of the roof looks almost as if it could have been a convertible top at one time. Makes you wish it was real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Jim, your paint jobs are second to none! That color is so fantastic looking especially in the sunlight! And yes, that roof graft could certainly have passed for stock if Studebaker would have had the guts and taken GM's lead in offering that back then.

Ramfins59 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Very nice Jim. I'm currently piddling with a 1959 Lark promo that I picked up on EBAY. I'm using the interior from a 1960 promo, and I'll be building the car stock for my "Class of '59" collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Thanks much guys.It was a convertible top that I filled in to get it flatter. A friend did an identical Lark but he used a Chevy bubble top. It looks real good but I wasn't about to destroy an old Chevy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
