Studependous - 1963 Studebaker Lark R2
A supercharged Lark with a Bonneville lineage
(snippet copy - See link or magazine for entire article)
Feature Article from Hemmings Muscle Machines

It's only a memory now, akin to a mirage shimmering above the great expanses of Utah salt. But in 1963, a brace of factory-backed Studebakers set scads of speed records on the Bonneville Salt Flats, and this is one of them. Manufacturer records make it clear that this 1963 R2 Super Lark was consigned by Studebaker Engineering to Andy Granatelli, who led the Studebaker assault on the salt that year. It was too little, too late to save the company, but Studebaker nonetheless reaped huge publicity as Granatelli's fleet of Larks and Avantis sent the U.S. Auto Club's speed records toppling in a variety of classes.
