1959 Studebaker Lark

OVERVIEW

This 1959 Studebaker Lark restomod coupe delivers small-block V8 power through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission. It comes equipped with a Mustang II-style independent front suspension, power front disc brakes, power steering, and a refurbished interior complete with a custom center console, air conditioning, and a radio. Finished in black over a two-tone gray leather, vinyl, and cloth interior, this modified Lark is now offered with a clear title in the seller’s name.
