An agreement was signed today between Kaiser-Frazer of Haifa and the Studebaker-Packard Company providing for the assembly of Studebaker’s Lark model compact cars in the Haifa plant. The Lark will sell in Israel for about 11,000 pounds ($6,000).
Assembly by the Haifa plant of the Renault cars was discontinued last year, when the French firm surrendered to the Arab boycott and canceled contracts for the assembly of the car by Kaiser-Frazer.
