Bought this booklet on eBay because it was Lark related[8D] Lots of laughs! It was written by Bernice Fitz-Gibbon, and it's specifically for ladies who own a Lark. On the back cover it says: "Bernice Fitz-Gibbon has never changed a tire in her life, but she has changed the way America looks at women"...
Pretty cute; here's a couple excerpts:
Now I've heard it said that the whole world...suddenly turns a delightful sky-blue-pink when you're behind the wheel of a Lark!
Since we girls like to do things the gentlest way possible, here's a tip about setting and releasing the parking brake.Depress the foot brake first. This takes the tension off the cables and gives you really feather-light control.
(Picture caption) Wiggle around and wave!
You and your passengers will dote on that fresh, airy "whee-feeling" you get when you slide open the Skytop Sunroof. Opens easily with one hand to give back-seat athletes exhiliarating sun-and-air without ruffling front seat hairdos.
HOW TO CHANGE A TIRE
Every woman knows that if there was ever a time when plain unvarnished feminine charm and good old-fashioned "girl appeal" comes in handy is when a tire problem develops. Here's my advice. Put on some fresh lipstick, fluff up your hairdo, stand in a safe spot off the road and near your Lark, wave and look helpless and feminine. If this doesn't do the trick I guess I've overestimated men, especially truck drivers!
We hate danger and violence. Men may think of their cars as gleaming demons of surging horsepower roaring vertically to the pinnacle of Pike's Peak. But not us!
And this closer:
With your Lark you're on your own, free as a bird, alive as a Lark. You've suddenly discovered that parking is a pleasure, traffic is a breeze, turning's no trick at all, and happiness is a thing called Larking!
I grinned wide enough that I had to add that to my sig. line[

Oh, but for simpler times........

There was a day when women were'nt trying to be men and this flyer was considered cute, even funny! Being a gentleman (my mother wouldn't have it any other way) the advice on the flat would work very well for me.
Hopefully, Craig Parslow will post his teacher's reaction to this booklet when Craig brought it in for "review!" 
We've got to quit saying,
