  • Nice 59 Lark FS $7000 in WA

    I think this is a pretty reasonable deal. What say you? Nice job.

    Based on what photos have been supplied and the description of the car, I agree this is a reasonably good deal. This should make a very comfortable and reliable driver.

      Not bad at all. it just needs the Regal Grille Surround that missing, just makes it too Scotsman like.

      But what is a bit confusing is all Exterior and Interior Pics show everything is Green, Turquoise to be exact.
      That is, except the Interior Window frames, the Door Panels, Arm Rests and the Dash are clearly BLUE.

      You have to wonder if the Pics could possibly be THAT far off on the Paint and Upholstery Color.


      Here is the one posters here looked at a while back (ended March 5,) that actually IS Blue on Blue.

      It is not relisted so may have been sold locally. A better Car, priced lower.


      Here is the Original Post car, looks Green.

        I agree that it needs its Regal grille surround. It also needs its grille badge relocated to the correct spot.

        IMO, the price is too much for a four door 1959 that still needs things.

          That ebay car is very very sharp! I especially like that color on it. The Craigslist car is unusually clean and well done inside even if that bright blue is little over the top.

            That one picture (with the doors open) is that far off Dad- look at the front seat/back seat photos again. The seats match the door panels in all the other photos. Trust me on this.

            The first car Dad posted a pic of is the eBay car, the second is the CL car.

            Both are in way better shape then mine~

              I got a little weezie looking at the mix of colours, too....and I even thought Rich would comment before I read the comments (lol). My aunt had a 60 Lark IV that had it all together. It was dark green with a little lighter green interior and dark green tinted glass. It looked elegant.

                I think you could be right Dave about all of the Interior being many shades of Blue, but look at that door edge with the Turquoise GREEN paint on it! That is just not a good match.
