About this lot
>> The Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana (USA), introduced their Hawk in 1956. With four models, based on the wheelbase and chassis of the coupés and hardtops from 1953. With Golden Hawk, Sky Hawk and Power Hawk you had a V8 that could handle 352, 289 and 259 cubic inches respectively, while the Flight Hawk opted for a 'Champion' 185 cin. In 1962, the Hawk was replaced by a redesigned Gran Turismo model. That 'GT Hawk' is therefore a 'grand touring' coupé and was sold between 1962 and '64 as the absolute top representative of the Studebaker brand. _ _ _ His styling was a rather radical facelift, in which designer Brooks Stevens sought inspiration from the then pure European lines. He initially called his design 'Hawk Monaco' (with a prototype that even bore Monegasque number plates). The refreshed interior also became a trendsetter, where later Dodges and Chryslers, for example, clearly inspired their dashboard. In terms of engine, in 1962 you could choose between 'two-barrel' or 'four-barrel' versions of Studebaker's 289 (4.7-liter) V8 equipped with carburetors. You could pair it with a (standard) manual (three-speed), 'overdrive' four-speed gearbox or the 'Flight-O-Matic' automatic transmission.
- Remarks:
- _ _ _ This is a manually shifted Hawk, which - as you can see - is still being taken care of. But it is a beauty of an American classic, and rather rare! You can admire and inspect this quirky classic for yourself; but only during a specific reserved viewing moment (which takes place in the Noorderkempen of Belgium). _____So; this lot shows moderate to significant signs of wear (or possibly form your own opinion during a 'Viewing Day') and is also provided with an old inspection certificate (1976). You must book such a viewing, in the first instance by e-mail to info@ HaspengouwClassics.eu (If the official moment really does not suit, we may find another one.) _ _ _ In this exceptional case, the collection is also in the Noorderkempen of Belgium, and also (to ensure a smooth course) must first be requested in time via our e-mail address (info@ HaspengouwClassics.eu). Remember to come well prepared to pick up/recharge! We may be able to arrange transport on request. All dates are subject to change.
