Hi all--
That time of year again, almost...but before my Lark goes into hibernation, a lovely Sunday afternoon at the peak of our fall colours (especially vibrant this year because of that wet summer) called for a repeat of last October's one-Stude colour run. This year fellow SDCer and very old bud Garnet Bell rode shotgun. (Will he be accompanying me in a Stude of his own next year? Who knows, but I'm trying to nudge him in that direction...)
Here's me with the Lark at the Royal Botanical Gardens' Arboretum here in Hamilton.

Another Arboretum shot
On York Road in Dundas...a veritable wall of scarlet maple
It's likely less than a month till the snow flies and Betty goes to Glanbrook to sleep the winter away...but for now, life remains grand!

Hamilton-built Lark VI* Deluxe 2dr post. She's got the doughty little 170ci OHV Stude six hooked to a Flightomatic; quite good on gas for a car that old, but of course no neck-snapper from a standing start. (She'll go expressway speed, but isn't really happy doing so.) The Lark was restored once, about, I think, twenty years ago, but could use a repeat. Next March she'll be getting some brake work and probably an overhaul of her ignition system also. Both work OK, but both could be improved quite a bit. Really could use paint, too...my little PHD digital camera makes her look shinier than she really is. Waxing, though, works surprisingly well, and is way cheaper than laying out several grand for a respray and ending up with a Lark whose paint is worth more than the rest of the car!
