Back in 2002 I ran across this car on Market Street but did not have my camera. I was really disappointed because it was in such great shape and such a rare car. About two weeks later, I spotted the car on 18th street just a few blocks from our house. This time I was ready. I hope you like this rare coupe.

I saw this car on a walk almost exactly a year ago today. I’d like to see it now and see if the work was completed. The body was patched, sanded and primed and generally looked great. This was a very large car. In fact, a 1961 convertible Continental was used by Presiden Kennedy in Dalls in 1962 when he was assassinated.

A 1962 Compact Car

In 1959 Studebaker introduced the Lark as a compact car. I saw this quote on the web.

“This 1962 lark is being built for a wife to take cruising. The Lark was a “compact” car built between 1959 and 1963 by The Studebaker – Packard Corporation. The Studebaker Lark was a car design that used the core body and panels of the full-sized 1953-1958 Studebaker models. The car was built as a compact car, achieved by reducing the front and rear overhangs and shortening the wheelbase.”

This car was a 1962 which was at the peak of the production curve.

This 1951 Buick was found in an industrial area of San Francisco. It is ready for either a complete restoration or a junkyard. Since this was taken in 2003, I have not seen it around so I can’t say which way it went. I guess none of us would look very well after over 50 years on the street.
