Lark vs Chevy Comparison

We can look back now and appreciate both cars. But I would imagine at the time that the Nova was seen as a much more modern car. The thin pillars give it that look too.

Yes, I'm afraid the Lark retained it's styling queues from the fifties all the way to '62 and a bit into '63. Something that's okay with me, as I really like that type of styling. The '64-66 Lark has a look of blending the styles of both the Ford and Chevy offerings. I never did go for the late sixties and after cars. They've gotten just too boxy, and all now too much the same soap-bubble look. They all look like... Mr. Bubble designed them.

Another one to throw into the pot is the 62 Buick Special with the completely-new-for-62 aluminum V6 engine. Motor Trend called it the "dominant story of the season", and made it Car of the Year; and, apparently well-deserved.
The more I learn about the automotive scene in that period, the more I understand why Studebaker did not survive[V]

In '63, the Lark really had more competitive bragging rights against the other compacts, with the Avanti V8's, disc brakes, and Powershift trans.
