"Stretched" Lark types?

[rockne10]

We know the Studebaker assembly plant in Haifa did put together a stretched '64 convertible limousine for Israel's Prime Minister Levi Eshkol.

Other than that example, now lost to history, do we have information on any other stretched Lark types?
Here's a photo of a '63 taxi I've had in my files for years; no recollection where I got it from or any background.

Maybe the '63 is from Cuba, that is cool how they "melded" a 2 Door Sedan complete with the 1/4 Window on the back to give it the True Limo look!

I suspect the taxi also is from israel.

From the Title, I thought this might be about stretched Larks like my '61 Lark Cruiser.
Here's one that WAS advertised for sale with a Green Cloth Interior:

Available with the First 289 V8 210 or 225 HP Option in a Civilian Lark.
The Body shares Very little with '61 Lark 4 Doors, from the rear of the Front Door back.
I wonder if that was the very FIRST Dedicated, Side Marker Light, not on a Truck!

Thirty years ago there were also stretched sedans used for taxi service in Turkey. Called a "dolmus" they were used as a shared ride to a particular destination. Today the service is usually carried out with newer vans, but in those days old stretched American and German cars were also used.

The Island of Capri used Fiat taxis that were stretched by Lombardi, and still use modified cars and SUV's for taxis today: Sunny Taxi Tours of the Isle of Capri - GRAND VOYAGE ITALY

One would have thought they might have used a Capri…

Of all the 'Capris' Ford offered under that nameplate, the 1950's Lincoln Capri would make the most practical taxicab for use on the Island of Capri.

The Consul Capri from England was a stylish two door hardtop.

The Comet Capri was too cheap looking and compact for a taxi.

The 'sexy European' early to mid seventies Capri was a sports car and a two door.

The Fox-based Mercury Capri was only a two door, and lastly,

The Australian Mazda 121 based Capri was only a two seater, no room for more than one passenger.

And last I read, Ford is working on a NEW 'Capri'!!
