Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1961 Studebaker Lark VIII Regal Convertible is a rare model with a documented restoration and concours award, featuring a period-correct V8 and desirable upgrades like Vintage Air. Recent mechanical attention to the transmission and door hinges, coupled with its 'no reserve' status, make it a compelling classic for collectors.
Condition

The car underwent a restoration in the 2010s and won a 'Best-in-Class' award in 2018. Recent work includes a transmission rebuild and hinge repair. While the odometer shows low miles, total mileage is unknown and the clock does not work. Cosmetic details like the missing convertible top boot and potential for minor wear from previous ownership prevent a higher rating.
