  Studebaker Lark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lark was a "compact" car built between 1959 and 1962 by The Studebaker - Packard Corporation, 1963-1964 by the Studebaker Corporation and between 1959 and 1966 by Studebaker of Canada Limited.
Studebaker had entered into a distribution agreement with Daimler Benz in 1957, and the design of the Lark's new grill was intended to mimic the grill on Mercedes Benz automobiles.
Studebaker also brought out the novel sliding-roof Wagonaire, also designed by Stevens, and for the first time since its 1961 introduction, the Cruiser was no longer called a Lark, although it still was very much one, albeit more luxurious than the regular models.

 Studebaker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Studebaker's cash position was far worse than it led Packard to believe and in 1956 the nearly bankrupt automaker brought in a management team from aircraft maker Curtiss-Wright to help get it back on its feet.
The Lark, in particular, was based on existing parts to the degree that it even utilized the central body section of the company's 1953 cars, but was a clever enough design to be quite popular in its first year, selling over 150,000 units and delivering an unexpected $28 million profit to the automaker.
Studebaker's proving grounds were acquired by its former supplier Bendix Corporation, which later donated the grounds for use as a park to the St.

Lark Wagons were available in Standard, Regal and Daytona trim, but only the Regal and Daytona versions sported the sliding roof.

Studebaker drained all the assets of the company in the merger and the last car to bear the once proud Packard name was really a Studebaker with a Packard badge.

The Lark was available with 6-cylinder in-line or V8 engines (referred to as Lark 6 or 8) in all trim levels, except from the Cruiser which had a V8 as standard.

Studebaker was one of the last independent car manufacturers of America with a history that goes back as far as 1852.
The Lark was the last real attempt of the company at breaking the stranglehold of the big three (GM, Ford and Crysler) on the American car market.
Its introduction in 1959 was successful and the company made a nice profit that first year, but due to a change of management and an irrational marketing strategy the success stopped in 1960.
