mfg Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 What did the folks at 'Road and Track' magazine mean when they described the 1963 Studebaker Avanti as a "Lark in a gilded cage" ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1lark Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 They meant it was basically a Lark (chassis, basic engine, etc) with a fancy body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunslinger Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Pretty much the same that the Mustang was essentially a dressed up Falcon...though the press was pretty much universally positive about the Mustang without mentioning its origins and some reviewers were not so with the Avanti. A bit of anti-Studebaker bias but Studebaker wasn't a big advertiser in car mags at the time...if they advertised in car mags at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
