Hemmings Find of the Day – 1960 Studebaker Lark VI

Published by Mike on September 24, 2011

A V-8 might be nice in any older car, but for the true experience of driving an economy car from the late 1950s/early 1960s, you need a six-cylinder engine. This 1960 Studebaker Lark VI for sale on Hemmings.com offers not just a six (and a flathead at that), but also a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Only the full wheelcovers and carpeted cabin detract from full-on taxi terrifficness, and those could easily be changed out for pie-plates and rubber floormats. From the seller’s description:

6 cylinder, 3 speed manual with over drive, rebuilt motor, NOS transmission, older restoration but still very nice. new interior newer tires, brakes and tune-up. Needs nothing but to be enjoyed.
