My lark is nearing completion , and i'm going to use the original front bench seat and eliminate the rear seat . The plan is to panel off the trunk and carpet the rear section. Did Studebaker ever build a lark business coupe??

Finally getting around to reply
I sent off for the blueprints for the rear seat delete/utility sedan, built one from scrap plywood and made brackets from 1/8 strip stock and installed it in my 62 hardtop. I have bucket seats instead of a bench seat.
I covered it with grey all weather carpet from Menards and used some metal strips from an erector set to hold the carpet down. If I can figure out how to get a picture off my phone to the forum I'll post pictures.

It's amazing how useful Erector set parts still are. How many of us learned our love of mechanics from Erector sets as kids?RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player. In the old car radio business since 1985.

I remember building one machine from the suggested directions and after that invented all manner of things in my head.
Two that I remember include a truck with front wheel drive. The front axle pivoted on the drive shaft.
I also built a cable hanging device which ran back and fourth across the attic room where i did my mad scientist constructions.Diesel loving, autocrossing, Coupe express loving, Grandpa Architect.

If you are, just chick the check mark on each photo you want to download, then go to the upper right corner of the screen where the three vertical dots are. Click on the dots and one of the options will be "download". Click on download and you can then chose the file you want and click save.
They'll be in that file in your computer ready to upload to the forum. You can also upload them to Imgur or Flickr from your computer if you want to post in that format.

Originally posted by HOXXOH View PostI had a '63 that was so devoid of nearly everything, including exterior script, that it had to be a business coupe. Only one visor, no glovebox door, no rear seat, not a single option. Being that it was painted battleship grey, I suspect it was originally purchased by the navy.
If you still have the serial number, the Production Order would reveal who it was originally for. Apparently, the State of California had a fleet of Standard four doors also painted gray: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...rnia-State-Car

The reason I believe it was a Navy car, is that the nearby base was closed in 1968 and bought by the City of Phoenix. After a couple years, the city started divesting things they had no need for and this car may have been one of those things.
Since you mentioned serial numbers, I remember taking some off of cars I parted out. A quick look found 5 plates and 2 of those body tags. I only have one '63 and it's 63S-34956. It's the cleanest one of the bunch too. Is there someone on this forum who can look it up?
