Conestoga-Lark Birthday Bash!!

[Dads Baby]

Today our club got together for the Lark's 50th birthday. I got to see a bunch of cars from the club that were new to me.









The rest of my pictures can be found here.

Thank you for the pictures. I liked the Lark panel wagon. Very nice assortment of Studebakers.

I dig that wagon too. Really cool, but wasn't sure of the year..'60 tail lenses, front turn signals & center grill, but with a '59 badge. Is it a '60 or a '59? Mostly '60 trim, but that can be deceptive. I have always wanted a nice 2 door wagon like that. MBSTUDE orange, too!

That convertible color looks familiar.. What a beauty. Makes me want to finally buy WWW's again. Thanks for the pictures. Really well presented cars.

btw..what month did they build the very first '59 Lark to have a 50th birthday party?

Barn -

While I can't see the pictures...the obvious differences between the 59 and 60 Lark wagons are -
1. The slider window on the 59 has a solid body post seperating the two pieces of side window. The 60 just has a chrome strip attached to the slider.
2. The upper tail gate on the 59 is thick and heavy, has the "dip" in the center for the tail gate lock. The 60 is just a light weight square frame, with no dips or bumps anywhere.

There are other changes...but as you hint at...they are easily changed.

Oh that wagon (very nice) is just going to get MBSTUDE's mind a smoking with thoughts. orange crate, cream sickle, now orange delivery. I see a business venture somewhere in here.....Peaches anyone?

Seriously..I smell an orange registry being brewed!

Mike, tell me when you get your pictures working what you think. Side window indentifiers are not a help, but a good tailgate shot is there. I think he just has a '59 badge on it. Mine isn't correct either.

Yep. Gotta love Orange! [8D]

The wagon is cool, but I REALLY like that 4x4 pickup! []

Each time our club gets together, I get to see wonderful cars. All of which I would be very proud to own! The group from Sunday was no different. All very nice examples of the Studebaker line.

Matthew, trust me, you would absolutely love Ray's truck, and the rest of his collection!

Looks like a '59 wagon to me.

That's a really nice collection of Studes. I particularly liked the orange '59 Lark Wagon. Nice job.
Thanks for posting the pix.
