Check out the Lark billboard across from the Plymouth dealer, which is advertising Valiants. It looks like the S-P dealer's used car lot is on the left hand side, the dealership must be behind the camera. Not sure what city this is, it's off another website.[8D]

I have only been there once many years ago, but is that Selma, AL? In the background, that bridgeway looks familiar.

There's even a 56 or 57 Stude sitting on the used car lot!

Yes the third one from the front is a '57 Stude. Sedan. []
It must be downtown in a fairly large City, because that is a huge one way street!
But what are those microwave Dishes doing on the roof...in 1960? [?]
They sure aren't for cellphones!

Cool pic.
There was a '66 Valiant 200 4dr very near me for sale for a number of months just before I went Lark shopping...I flirted with buying that Valiant, and indeed very well might have done so had it been a 2dr. (And would've missed out on two and a half terrific years of SDC and Studebakering. I'm glad that Valiant had two doors too many...)

The building with the dishes also has a large antenna on the roof and what looks like more antennas both on the roof and along side. I wonder if it's the studios for a TV or radio station.

I think it is Fresno California that would be Stanislaus Street The bridge goes over the railroad tracks. The name of the dealer should be Slavich Brothers. Now I was just a kid when it was taken.
--------
Go to google maps and put in 2100 Stanislaus Fresno Ca look at that big building the stories count is the same. Let me know what do you think?

At the M Street intersection. The old car dealerships--Slavich Bros. on the left and Leach Motors on the right. The RR overpass in the distance. View ORIGINAL size. I took this because I liked the look of the street after a brief shower had passed over.
I just googled Leach Motors and this came up.

The car just about to crest the top of the bridge in the background is a 50 or 51 Bullet nose Business Coupe. Can't quite tell which year as it is just a little too far away.
You guys are great!
Good Roads.

PS I am sure there is someone out there on the forum with better eyes than me that will set the record straight.

I got fooled by the title of the post .... I was expecting to see engine and performance comparisons between Larks and Valiants. I learned to drive on the cousin to the Valiant (Dodge Dart) and my first car that I owned was a 61 Lark VI Regal.
