<VV> South Bend surprise

[Dave Leonard]

Never saw or heard of this one before – thanks!  Porsche and Studebaker had
a well known engineering relationship in the 50’s up until the Packard
merger.  Some interesting stories on Porsche’s approach at developing a
compact for Studebaker with air and water cooled rear-engined V6 designs.
This car however seems to be something different.  From the museum web site:
“
failed experiments by the Studebaker Corporation including the
one-of-a-kind 1959 Lark Porsche. Built by the Curtis-Wright company, a
rear-mounted Porsche engine powers this Lark in what is a fantastic example
of both American ingenuity and resourcefulness.”
