The first way Clark would differentiate itself from other manufacturers was with front-wheel-drive. A whole decade before General Motors did the same with the Motorhome, Clark paired a motorhome with a front engine driving the front wheels. The standard engine of a Clark Cortez was a 225 cubic-inch Chrysler Slant Six making 140 HP. That was bolted to a four-speed manual transaxle of Clark’s own design. Having a front-wheel-drive design allowed Clark to build a coach that was closer to the ground with a flat floor behind the engine. Clark wanted to build an RV that drove like a car, so in addition to making its Cortez coaches ride closer to the ground, the company also outfitted them with four-wheel independent suspension.
