The '60 Dart? The '64 Datsun 410? or the '58 Provincial?

I'll take the black '61 Crusier!!

I was talking about the Provincial- but the Dart is great too! Check out the Venetian Blinds in the back of the 64 Chevy- also see a nice 61 Impala convert.

I graduated high school in 1967. On the rare occasions that I drove my car to school, there would be 2 Larks in the parking lot. My Bahama Blue 1959 VI and the Austin boys Maroon1960 VIII. Both where 4 doors. About 6 years later I salvaged the Delco window type distributor from the remains of the 1960.

I graduated in '72 but drove a '63 Daytona Hardtop (259 V8, 3-spd w/ OD) in my junior and senior year. A friend of mine had a '64 Cruiser. They were the only Studebakers in the parking lot. ;-)

I graduated in '59 from a high school of about 2200 that had no parking lot. I don't think the neighbors were happy about the parking situation for several blocks around.

I was in high school back in that time frame and your pictures look typical of the era. Thanks for posting them. About 1969 or 70 there was some student at my school driving a beat up white '60 Lark convertible, but I didn't know who it was. I'm sure the car has gone off to the happy hunting ground by now. Another guy I knew had a black '59 V-8 hardtop, but on the way to school one morning he skidded into a ditch and that was the end of it. The damage wasn't too bad, but a typical '59 Lark in Western PA in 1970 was virtually worthless and not considered fixable.

I drove a 1957 Silver Hawk in High School which is not in this picture (I parked in a other lot). That car was totaled. My friend Ronnie drove a 62 GT Hawk (we had the only Hawks in HS). A few months ago I was able to buy Ronnie's Hawk (Ronnie has passed ) and I am going to restore it.

I'm guessing your HS was in Tucson judging by the rustfree cars?

[TMAN0950]

Yes, Tucson, Amphi HS, I wish it was rust free, the car was parked in 1976 outside. Being a Arizona boy I have not had a rusty car before. Every third bolt or screw brakes or rounds off. How do you eastern guys do it?

We plan on them breaking, and are pleasantly surprised when they don't!

I remember a '50 or '51 Starlight Coupe that some guy had when I attended Kailua High School in 1964, but when I came back to Fayetteville for '65 and '66, I do not beleive there was a single Studebaker in the Fayetteville High School parking lot. In a school with a graduating class of 580 I would have thought there would have been at least one.
