DynaMike ◊ 2012-01-29 18:31	Agreed. But I'd think there was no convertible of the Lark in 1959, and the 1961+ has a different dashboard. Is that correct, Commander57 ?
Commander 57 ◊ 2012-01-29 22:25	Correct no '59 convertibles. I believe this is a '61 owing to what appears to be a trunklid crease, a feature not found on the '60's See this linked photo: http://images.thetruthaboutcars.com/2010/08/CC-13-078-800.jpg

Could this be an example of a '61 deck lid placed on a '60 convertible during restoration / repair?
Commander 57 ◊ 2012-10-01 18:28	Entirely possible, Bobnony. On my screen, I really can't see the taillamps adequately. Quite an excellent observation about the radio and glovebox placement, however. The instrument cluster also looks like the '60 style. Based on your observations, will re-list this as a 1960 and we will assume an incorrect trunk lid was fitted somewhere along the way. Thanks! -- Last edit: 2012-10-01 18:33:16
