I just bought my first Studebaker, it's a 1960 Lark Regal 4dr wagon with what looks like to be it's second paint job. Interior looks like it might be original and in very good condition, somewhere along the line somebody put in shoulder harness seat belts . The front sheetmetal was replaced at one time with Deluxe trim, but that can go back. It's a 259, Flight o matic, power steering car with a 3.07 rear diff. Runs good, drives good just needs a little work. I bought it off Ebay and picked it up in Arizona.

Great looking car. I don't understand the () sad face about the shoulder harness belts. Years ago, our club made a rule that no judging points are to be deducted from anything added to our cars for safety.
The only downside to adding belts, in most states, if they are there, you can get a ticket for NOT using them.
Enjoy your wagon, it should be fun hauling groceries, attending car events, or a Sunday drive!John Clary

It was shipped to Reno NV originally. wound up in Northern Cal where the person I got it from bought it and he took it to Arizona. The Sad face is that I don't like the look of the shoulder belts and they had to cut holes in the interior to do it. The car is mainly for the Girlfriend but some parts hauling might be in it's future. Had to borrow my moms truck to pick it up in, I still haven't finished the trailer hitch on my panel truck.......I guess it's a good thing as the panel has no A/C.

'Nice wagon; congratulations and welcome to the SDC Wagon World. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.
