Rural router?

[Scott]

Could this 1963 Lark be a rural router?

It has a rare RH drive.

You would think he would clean off the snow before taking photos. Possibly the worst car add of all time!

Looks like a Regal V8 sedan.

Boat horns are a dead giveaway...

Sure is perfect for restoration.

clean off the snow at the top of the right side door. There should be a bunch of scratches from mailbox doors that fall back open on the car. Dead giveaway. Unless of course that different colored door was replaced after it was removed from mail service.

Around here, the mail persons that use their own vehicle used to have a pad/flap that hung down from the window opening to protect the paint.
Where I previously lived, the carriers used their own vehicles. Where I now live, 3.5 miles away, the carriers use postal vehicles.
I remember once when I went to the dealership where I later worked and learned that they took in trade the vehicle (LHD) that my local carrier had used. The car looked great and had a reasonable number of miles on it. When I explained the use that the car saw to the Sales Manager, a friend, he wholesaled the car.

If it was close by, I'd consider it, to switch my car to right hand drive.

Could very well be. A few years ago I was talking to the son of the former Studebaker dealer in Garnett, KS. He told me they sold a number of rural routers in their day. Or, it could have just been ordered that way for a special purpose. George Hamlin has a right-hand-drive Lark that the original owner ordered so he could park along the curb in front of his house and not have to get out of the car in to traffic.
