This car recently appeared at a mechanic's place of business down the road from Fresno. It is not unusual to see older cars in his yard. I stopped to inquire, not knowing if it was his or a customer's car. He said he had recently purchased it. He had gotten tired of seeing it sitting outside for 6-8 years deteriorating. So he bought it and got it running in no time. Seems the previous owner bought it at a charity auction or something. And then just let it sit. So it's in the hands of a real mechanic now. I asked if he had good parts sources. He said no and asked if I knew of any. So I'll be dropping by a SI catalog and a copy of TW Mar. 2011. The one with a Lark hardtop in it. He said he had never seen a Lark hardtop before. He really likes the car, but would sell it for the right price.
So...I like continental kits. I know some of you don't. Can't recall seeing one on a Lark. I know it's getting a little late, style-wise, for a continental kit, but I think it looks good on this car.
The Lincoln Continental got one because there was no room in the trunk for the spare. And the same for Nash Metropolitans. (Actually, the first few years Metros didn't even had a trunk lid!)
Unlike on C/K Studes with an added continental kit, the Lark has a somewhat stubby trunk, so I think it looks just right.
This looks like a nicely done kit. Anyone have any ads marketing a Cont. kit for Larks?
