Dandy Original-Owner 1961 Lark Experience

[BobPalma]

Any more, it's becoming increasingly difficult to locate original-owner Studebakers, especially in nice condition.

Thus, it was my pleasure today to visit with Bernie Morris, widow of the late SDCer Tom Morris, to pick up all of Tom's issues of Turning Wheels he had carefully saved through the years. I have no idea what I'll do with them as I already have four "regulars" giving me their copies from month to month...but I didn't want Bernie to toss them, either.

Anyway, she and the children are carefully maintaining and periodically enjoying Tom's bright yellow / black interior 1961 Lark VIII Regal hardtop he bought brand new. It is still in beautiful condition; one of the best you'd ever hope to find. This morning, Bernie allowed me to pull back the car cover in their nice garage and have a peek at it, although I have seen it from time to time through the years. What a sweetheart.

Thanks, Craig.

I knew it was somewhere on a Turning Wheels cover...but Cari and I are babysitting all day today, 35+miles from home, and I do not have access to any of my library materials...not the least of which are Turning Wheels! BP

Your original post stated that on that day you picked up a set of TW.

HA! Good point, Gary; I probably had that issue out in the trunk of the car, but it didn't even occur to me to go out and untie the bundles and try to find it!

Funny. BP
