  • Shortest Studebaker?

    Would that be the F body Lark?

    Certainly NOT the '62 to '66's, it would have to be a '59-'61, before the trunk was stretched.
    But the 2 Door Hardtop would be the same.

        I'm with Jeff. The Zip Van came to my mind first when I read this thread.

          For postwar vehicles, I would also say the Zip Van. From memory, a Zip Van is 144 inches long and a '59-'60 Lark is 175 inches long.

          Also in trucks, a Mobile Home Transporter may be right up there (down there) for shortest length. They were 96 inches BBC. I doubt that there was more than 48 inches additional behind the cab.

            For pre-war, maybe an early Stanhope electric.

                          That hurts, even Randy Newman didn't care for short people.
