    Hemmings Blog: Nice-looking 1963 Regal 4-DR FS

    Just what Bill Pressler needs, and it's already in Ohio for personal inspection :

    http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/studebaker/lark/1579832.html?refer=news


    Bullet-proof 180 HP 259 and Flightomatic in the Spring 1963 color of Seaspray Green, too. BP

      Oh man, Bob, is that car lovely! I know you love Seaspray Green--not!

      That's some big money, but on the other hand, looks bone-stock in and out which I appreciate...a lot!

      That dealership is run by the son of a fellow who was in our Ohio Region SDC and who had a Champagne Gold with red-interior '63 Daytona Hardtop with factory 4-speed and cloth and vinyl buckets.

      Body condition is listed as "good".

      In four-doors, I like '63's better than '64's. I wish I had the money; I'd likely jump on this. I've got to believe, too, that either their place can do work or knows of a place that does...something that frustrates me around here.

      Just had to rub it in, huh Bob? Sadly, I couldn't spend $899 on that car now! LOL

        Actually, Bill; I don't think Seaspray Green looks all that bad on a sedan, and this car appeals to me as being a nice-looking driver.

        On Hawks, though....not. BP

          A friend who lives near where this car is, has a '63 Cruiser in the same exterior color, but with Chestnut cloth and vinyl interior! It's a low-mileage car with only one old-lady schoolteacher owner before the current owner.

          I like the rear-door cut of the '63 four-door Larks and Cruisers--I'm reminded of '75 Sevilles and '77 GM B-bodies. It's a stately look I think.

            Add me to the list who thinks the 1963 Stude 4 door sedan is stately in appearance.

                Are you sure that one is not a Cruiser? http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...ruiser-Colours

                  Just bring over your 64 "Fleet" one at a time and I'll get 'em all in your new favorite color! Seaspray Green!! I'm sure I can get MACCO to mix me up a 55 gallon drum, JUST for your Fleet! <G>

                      I thought I posted a photo I took of it in 2007 in that other thread, but I guess did not!! Anyway, here it is!

                        The ad says custom, but isn't that a regal? If it's a custom, then what happened to the side trim, the chrome around the door windows, and the horn ring?

                        Either way, it's still a pretty car!
