Ever own, or drive one?

My grandparents had at least one sedan.

I currently own a '63 R/2 Super Hawk (factory Paxton supercharger). I also owned a '60 Lark VIII Regal Hardtop that I converted to R/1 spec. - talk about a sleeper. I've been looking for a '58 Transtar 4x4 (NAPCO) for years. I found a completely restored one once years ago, but I didn't buy it - big mistake. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/e8tTgMb.jpg) My R/2 Super Hawk: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/VedptyS.jpg)

A buddy of mine has a Studebaker deuce and a half.
They also built aircraft engines in WWII.

Mom liked Studebaker cars for quite a while. A commander and two Larks. I drove the Larks in HS-rarely. She wouldn't let me use them much as I disobeyed her and bought a motorcycle when I was 15.
As she said when we were backing it out of dads pickup "I hope you like riding it". I discovered it rains a lot in Oregon....

Wabi: I have an 11 page article on the Studebaker US6 Military trucks. If you would like a copy, PM me your e-mail address and I will send it along - it's too lengthy to post here in the open forum.

Dad had a Lark.
Down to the street theres a clean Super Hawk.
Being Indiana, they were common and not too expensive.
Now theyre too much money.
Still cool though.
Got a couple Avantis around town.
Hell a couple yrs ago I saw an Amphicar drive down the main drag.
