In 1963 and 1964, Sibona-Basano worked intensively with the American designer Brooks Stevens and the American car manufacturer Studebaker. Stevens had designed several passenger cars for the financially troubled US company as a look ahead to the model years 1964 to 1966. With a comparatively small budget of $ 50,000, Sibona-Basano produced three prototypes on behalf of Stevens. One of those was the “Lark Cruiser”: a elegant four door Hard-top Sedan with suicide doors.
