This past Sunday our club had a meeting near Rochester, NY so I took the opportunity to leave early and go to a toy show in Rochester while I was there. I took my '59 Lark 2 door with a 6 and no OD. The trip was 300 miles round trip with no problems and the Lark just purred along even at highway speeds. It's got to be the most dependable car I've ever owned.

Steve,

I attended the Letchworth Park meet in the same Rochester area a few weeks ago. I put 800 miles on the '64 Cruiser over the weekend, and it runs and drives like it was new. I drive it to work every day, too. Much more fun than a Honda. Forty years ago, I was driving a '64 Studebaker. I've come a long way!

The Studebaker might be a more comfortable than the Honda but I can assure you that my '83 Civic FE handles better than any Studebaker period. And, the floor shift is far superior to anything ever produced in the US.

Still, I do look forward to the eventual debut of the '55 Prez sedan semi-daily driver but it will have some modern extras to include a Versailles front seat. (1950's era seats are the pits...)
