  • 1oldtimer, 1960 Lark Regal 4dr Wagon

    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.

        I was reading the rules and didn't want to get to picture heavy.

            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!

                  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.

                    Sometimes you have to make small concessions for the sake of safety. In the pictures, the shoulder harnesses don't seem to jump out at you - they look pretty unobtrusive.

                          Welcome 1oldtimer and congrats on a really nice original car. You can even boast that it has the BP battery hold down! Stick around and you'll see what I mean.
                          Enjoy,
                          Cheers, Bill

                            Thats a well optioned wagon! Although no mention of the headrests on the production sheet so they may well have been fitted by the dealer which would not have been unusual. An attractive vehicle in well preserved condition, have fun!
