Studebaker, which traced its origins to the Conestoga wagons of the Gold Rush and whose wagons, ambulances and gun carriages put America s Union forces on wheels, reached the sixth decade of the 20th century gravely weakened but still capable of producing stylish, potent and important automobiles. Derived from Raymond Loewy s breakthrough 1953 Starliner coupe design, the Hawk was introduced in 1956 and represented a fresh, original approach to the sports car concept. Its appeal was immediate and over the next few years the Hawk s several variants accounted for a substantial share of Studebaker s production. This 1963 Gran Turismo Hawk is powered by Studebaker s 289 cubic inch V-8 with dual exhausts and an automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, pushbutton radio, radial tires with narrow whitewalls and full hubcaps. It has come from a long term owner who showed it frequently and trophied regularly. It is a straight, attractive, well-sorted car with nice paint, sound chrome and a good interior. Painted bright red with a matching interior and black carpets and door panels, it has wonderful eye-appeal. The engine compartment is attractively and correctly done to factory standards. The woodgrain dashboard attractively displays the GT Hawk s purposeful round gauges and speedometer. It drives well, showing the effect of caring ownership and consistent maintenance.
