'60 Lark: 60V F4 Deluxe V8 2-door sedan, serial 60V-31961. Red/Red interior, 304 R2+ engine (supercharged), overdrive, 4.27 Twin Traction. Delivered new in California, purchased out of Modesto, CA in 2005. I got it in memory of my dad, who bought '60 Lark 60V-40405 2-door sedan new--Colonial Red/Red interior, 259/PowerKit/3.73. Unfortunately, 60V-40405 is long gone (dad traded it on a '61 Hawk). I was with him at our local Studebaker dealer when he ordered the '60. 'Loved that car.

Thanks - do you know if the 1447 is the body number or the VIN?

Man they sure blew it on every single Color on this Lark 6 Convert!

Not even the Engine is correct, and any Local Parts Store would have Aluminum Silver Engine Enamel, how hard is that?
A Penguin Interior, and way too bright Yellow Paint. If it is not a Modified, there is no reason not to save a bit of Value and originality.

I agree 100% with that. It takes almost zero extra effort to make things the correct color. They probably did not even think about it.

Perry, the right rear axle ratio made quite a difference, didn't it?

Thanks - do you know if the 1447 is the body number or the VIN?

It's the number plate on the right side of the firewall next to the heater. I thought that was the body plate. With the letter in it, I'm guessing not.

[62champ]

The cars VIN plate will be in the door jamb, under the A pillar.
