It certainly is encouraging to know, per The New York Times, that "entry level cars run all the way up to $30,000."

[JBOYLE]

"...it's the North African souk of auctions..."
Yep, it's the New York Times.

Given their general anti-car attitude, I'm surprised the NYT would run an article like that.
But they got one trhing right...Silver's is a great place for entry level cars and a few "just used cars"...i.e. semi-collectable newer cars.

Frumpy?

"The frumpy Lark" eh?...Why I otta!!!!!!!

They coulda, shoulda said: "The cute, roundy style, hottest selling 1959 Compact that started a revolution and a new direction in Automotive Size", but NO, we got THIS!

.........The frumpy Lark nearly saved Studebaker, but few people saved Larks........

What they haven't taken into consideration is that the few of us that save Larks usually save alot of them.

To my eye, they are frumpy. That's exactly what I love about 'em- not like those slick Big 3 compacts I get some silly enjoyment from the weird looks as I toddle along in my Oasis Green 4 door 60 Lark VI

Nice use of the word 'souk' though. I had to look that one up

[BobGlasscock]

Gotta say, I liked the word 'frumpy' as well. Paints a picture in my mind. Sweet, little, old ladies with chocolate chip and sugar cookies are frumpy. The little ole lady who knocks out a bank robber with her purse is frumpy. I love frumpy.

When my grandmother bought her 59 Lark, it was a perfect match. Her and her car. Her car and her grandkids.

We need to bring frumpy back.

[StudeRich]

To my eye, they are frumpy.

Some people just see things a WHOLE LOT differently!

Everywhere I go in my Larks people say "what a CUTE Studebaker"!

Congratulations

Now, why didn't we think to coin and advertise, "WE INVENTED FRUMPY?" Darn!

[JBOYLE]

To be honest, Larks are more Aunt Bea than Linda Vaughn.

Nothing wrong with that.

Young people today call them "Old School" (which is a compliment)

That's Great, but "Frumpy" is NOT. That is associated with: Funky, Odd, Strange, and Weird!

You mean Studebakers aren't Funky, Odd, Strange, or Weird?

I've always thought Larks were "frumpy". They certainly aren't as slippery as a '53.

I'm pretty sure I've met that guy's description at more than one meet....maybe they meant the owner. <GGG>
