Did You Know? The Avanti and Lark Share a (Modified) Platform.

There are some great tidbits of information in the October 2010 issue of Hemmings Classic Cars magazine, including the one about the Avanti and the Studebaker Lark.

"The Avanti was built on a modified Lark platform, a car that debuted in 1959. Later Avantis were based on the GM-body (Monte Carlo) rear-drive platform." I had no idea that these cars shared anything!

Check out the October 2010 issue of Hemmings Classic Cars for other great stories, e.g., the Checker Marathon, Ford Model T, etc.
