  • 63 Lark Skytop

    I have pictures taken at the Charlotte NC Auto Fair some years ago, probably 1998, of a 1963 Lark 4 Door Skytop. This Lark is gold in color, black Skytop fabric material with a red deluxe all vinyl interior with reclining front seats. The car has factory air conditioning. Exterior wise it looks plain because it has hubcaps instead of full wheel covers.

    The car appears solid, just weathered from age and complete down to the Air Conditioned by Studebaker decal affixed to the back window. As I remember, the car was going to be restored and donated to the Studebaker Museum. There was a sign with the car stating it was rare with this equipment and what the future plans were for it.

    Is anyone familiar with this car and was it ever donated to the Museum? At this point, I'm not able to load photographs but I will be willing to mail the ones I have to someone knowledgeable. I wish now I had taken more and better photographs of it.

    Best regards

      Bill, Are you looking to purchase it, or something like it for a project car? I may know of a Skytop just waiting for a new owner...Mr. Andrews, you out there? I know you have pictures.

        Funny how the word "Skytop" jumps right out at me anytime it turns up[8D]

        For the time being at least, mine is off the market. It's all tucked away for Winter, and who knows how much longer. Time will tell.......

            Sorry Mr. Bill, but a perfect opportunity to show another shot of Bill Pressler's '63. I wish that I had shots of the one for which you are searching...until then:

                True..one of them will have time to rebuild a Skytop soon. I don't need a project right now, but that sure is a solid and rare Lark. I would still like to find a deal to stash away for better times, though, too. Glad you want to save it, Bob.

                    Leonard,

                    When you scan these pictures, please send me a set of high resolution electronic images, so I can use them on the 'Skytop Mysteries' section of the website.
