After looking for one of these for 17 or 18 years, I found one. I paid for it with a re-corable radiator for the 61 Lark that it came off of.
I was asked awhile back, if I could supply a back glass and a radiator core for a 61 Lark that was being brought back to life in a nearby town. The car has set for some years after being involved in a disabling fender-bender with it's original, little ol' lady owner.
After being saved from the scrap heap by a mechanic sort, it's rear window was broken by vandals while the car waited for attention.
When I was being told by it's new owner, about his motives and interests in the car, it dawned on me that I probably remembered seeing this car - being driven by a silver-haired gal - in the early 90s - MAYBE even when I lived here briefly in 1982.
I remember at least a couple of times - trying to intercept the Lark after having spotted it in traffic. I never was successful tho.
One thing I DID remember about it was that it wore a Switzer & Jordan license plate frame on it's rear plate. So as we were talking about the car and confirming that it WAS the one I remembered, that plate frame came to mind! I asked the fella if it was still on the car and he confirmed that it was. WOO-HOO! I said, how's 'bout we trade a radiator for that frame. Hah! Now it's mine! Color me ->

I'd be afraid it'd wind up in a puddle on the bottom of the tank...
