A 1960 Lark visits Mayberry

And I figured that by now I had seen every episode of the Andy Griffith show. Could I have missed one? Surely if I had seen this episode I would have seen the Lark... Thanks for posting this picture it certainly is one of the best examples of "Studes in Roadside Americana."

Does anyone have a photo of Aunt Bee with her Studebaker?

Found this on the Hamb site with the following information:
#326 is a Kurtis SC. I believe the car you see here is easily one of the most significant American sports cars in existence--or hot rods, for that matter. A '49 Kurtis, it bears serial number KB003, which makes it the third Kurtis sports car ever built and the first production model. Powered by an Edelbrock-prepared Ford V-8, it was Frank Kurtis' personal car for several years. In August 1949 at the first Bonneville Nationals, Wally Parks, founder of the NHRA and HOT ROD's first real editor, drove the Kurtis to a two-way average of 142.515 mph. From the HOT ROD perspective, this is the very first American sports car/rod--and with a pedigree second to none. It was also the cover car of the first ever issue of Motor Trend magazine, in 1949.
The important thing is the support vehicle, an M5 with Kurtis Kraft on the door!

Quite a coincidence that all 5 of the main cars pictured are now out of production.
