Were the early cars outfitted with 62 trim. Looking back through some old TW about the superlarks almost all pics found show 62 side trim. I think only 1 had 63 trim. Do people like it better or 62 easier to get NOS or what?

John it is simplier than you are thinking! They are not modified at all. Many of these '63 "Super Larks" you are seeing like Richard Poe's and Ted Harbit's are mearly just one of the best looking Larks made that year, the top of the line 2 door Sedans, they are Lark Customs!
These "Lark Custom" cars 2 dr. AND 4 Door, used a aluminum lower trim piece similar to the '62 Daytona H/T & Convertible, BUT they are without the Gold "Daytona" nameplate, this is to distinguish a "Custom". The interiors are Night & Day better and different, even have CARPETING!
The Hamilton Ontario Canada Plant built some Wagons & Wagonaires that also used that trim.
There are also lots of "Regals" out there that are "R" powered or not, they have the straight side trim without the "Custom" trim and without the window surround mouldings.Last edited by StudeRich; 07-24-2011, 01:15 PM.StudeRich
