wow, from the b pillar to the rear of the car is really different. there is virtually no square edge on this car, it's all round and that's what makes them cool. It stands out in a crowd.
I grew up in South Bend in the 70s and these were still common-ish on city streets then. I always thought they looked stubby and dumpy. The Larks from Studebaker's swan-song years were much more modern looking cars.
Yeah, something about that first angle definitely is a wagon fake out. This is the best of the Studebaker faces! That side profile is a total cartoon-carapace.
Best of OPC.

Looking at the first picture I thought it was a wagon for a second

the complete lack of trim also adds to the hand-hammered play-dough illusion.
Totally agree about the front fascia, love the solo rounds and the grill layout. Great color as well, love the profile shot.
I've always liked the 1959-61 Studebaker Lark. I used to know someone who had a 1960 Lark VIII four door sedan.
