Is this thread for the race or road car?

If it's for the race car then i'm not voting on it.

The cars raced in the 500 mile endurance races from 1960-1972 were road cars with numbers on the side.
They had to adhere to a very strict set of eligibility rules and were often sold on the lot as "only driven on Sundays". Some were even the family car and driven to and from the track on public roads.
Many were driven to the racetrack to run-in the driveline!

That's great to know... so you are suggesting the cars that raced in some 500 mile endurance races, can you at least make it clear in the OP and change the title of the thread so that people are aware they're not voting for the road car? Also, the Studebaker Lark has more than one model generation, so you're also required to specify that on the title. Thanks.

So exactly what part of my reply didn't you understand?
As I said, the cars raced in the 500 miles races were road cars.
As for specifying which model I'm referring to, the year 1960 should take care of that for anyone that feels confused.
If you don't want to vote for the car, that's fine with me. Voting isn't
compulsory.

Yes, they were, but now they have numbers pinned on their bodies which is not something i'd like to have in my Lark in Gran Turismo. You are suggesting the cars that raced in the 500 miles races but you don't make that clear in the thread title, please fix that.

As for the specifying of the model, a year is not enough if the car has multiple generations, you do have to specify it on the title as per the guidelines.
