Founded in 1852 and incorporated in 1868, nder the name of the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company, he company was originally a producer of farm wagons, lso producing for the military, nd for miners. Fast forward to 1926, tudebaker was the first automobile manufacturer in the United States to open a controlled outdoor proving ground on which, n 1937, 000 pine trees were planted that spelled "STUDEBAKER" when viewed from the air. In the 1960s, tudebaker began to diversify away from automobiles. Many companies were purchased, ringing Studebaker into different fields like the manufacture of tire studs and missile components. 55 years later this Lark Wagon still stands tall with almost all of the original trim still intact and present with the car. The panel gaps are consistent and look great. There is no door safe and all moveable panels close tight and straight. This car has so much originality that it needs to be seen in person to full appreciate it. The grilles and both chrome bumpers are straight and shiny and show almost no pitting at all. The headlights and tail lamps are in fine working condition, nd as transparent as ever. The windshield has minimal rock chips if any at all. The windshield wipers aren't operational at the moment, nd we have yet to look into them. The passenger sliding windows still open smoothly and the glass looks original and nice. The paint is tired as it appears to be original inside and out.We detect some surface rust around the roof trim as you can see in the pictures however the metals throughout appear very solid. There's a good sized knot on the lower quarter panel as you can see but otherwise this example is nice and straight, nd unusually original. All emblems are present! The leather interior and headliner, re in near perfect condition, vibrant crimson color, he stitching on the black leather dashboard is still in wonderful condition. The gauges and trim look fantastic and show just the perfect amount of patina. The door panels and hardware all show in excellent condition as do the seats and rear folding parts. The carpet is tired but help prove the cars originality. The stereo is an aftermarket cassette player, ith speakers mounted in the cab's trim panels. The A/C unit is an external Mark IIII unit, hich should be operational, ut disconnected at the moment. Sporting a factory installed 259 cu in (4.2 L) V8 (Block # V487I08), t starts right up, nd drives like a beauty. The frame is solid, howing only minor surface rust. It has some usual underside leakage but overall is mechanically sound and an excellent driver.
