Mid-1955 option and offered thru the 1958 model year, and on the Avanti.
But they were reportedly experimenting with them before the war. http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...ght=1942+power
And Studebaker with its "Special Orders Don't Upset Us" policy did see at least two Lark/Lark types with them. http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...ighlight=rabbi

On K bodies they were only on the font windows. The 1/4 windows were still crank. My 56 Golden Hawk had them as well as power seat.Bez Auto Alchemy

The 1958 J-body was the only 2 door model which could be ordered with all four power windows.

And there were 1958 J body cars with either the door windows or all four windows powered. But the unique rear glass mechanisms of K bodied cars made it impossible for them to have powered rear glasses.

A local friend and Hudson Valley Chapter member owned three 1955 Speedsters at the same time. Two of them had power windows.
My 1957 Golden Hawk had power windows. My 1963 Daytona Wagonaire had a power rear window.
I have a lot of 1953 literature and do not recall seeing power windows mentioned anywhere in it.Gary L.
