1959 Studebaker Lark

1959 Studebaker Lark, 2 door hardtop, flathead, 6 cylinder and a 3 speed automatic transmission.  This car runs and rides as it should, very smooth running engine and smooth shifting transmission.This car was previously owned by an elderly gentleman in Florida for about 15 years, and prior to that the same owner kept it in a barn in Northern Ohio.I love Studebakers, so when I saw this one for sale this year, I bought it and had it shipped here to Pennsylvania.  I've put a lot of love and money into this car.  Here is a list of the things I've done to extend it's life so that someone can enjoy it for years to come.  I'll start with the engine. Complete tune up, new electric fuel pump, new thermostat along with complete cooling system flush and radiator cap, new oil and filter, new air filter, new battery.  I've flushed out the rear differential, put in a new pinion seal and cover gasket and filled it with 90 w gear lube. Rear end has no slop and operates as it should.Along with all that, I've replaced the master cylinder, all four wheel cylinders, brakes, brake lines, and hoses.I've put four new tires on it as well, the front wheel bearings and seals have also been replaced.It has a new gas line front to back with a new filter installed.  I've also removed and completely flushed the gas tank and reinstalled it.  It has a new tailpipe too.As far as the interior goes, the dash looks beautiful as does the front seat. The back seat has been torn badly and needs recovered and the headliner needs some attention also in the left rear.  I've replaced the carpet with a new aftermarket cut-to-fit piece.  Also I've replaced the interior wind lace around the doors as well as all the rubber, including the trunk gasket.  There is a new glove box and new kick panels.The body and frame are very solid.  The paint is a good candidate for either clear coating to show off the great patina or a complete paint job.All the chrome is there, and the bumpers are nice, but the grill is showing rust and the chrome under the windows is very pitted.All lights and gauges work as well as the heater.  The windows go up and down but they are a little stiff.The mileage on the car shows 33,234 and the title shows 34,133. That is what the previous owner put on the title before he mailed it to me.  To be safe I would call it exempt or TMU.  Either way, it's still a great little driving car that I wouldn't be afraid of driving 50-60 MPH all day long.Please bid to buy and if you have any questions, please ask either through Ebay or call me at 724/282-8500.This car is for sale locally too, so this listing could be pulled at any time. $500 due at the time of sale end. The rest to be paid in full within 7 days.Brian
