1964 STUDEBAKER Hawk Gran Turismo 6 Hardtop Coupe

The Studebaker Hawk series was introduced in 1955. The styling came from the Loewy Studios drawing boards.
Tall rear fins were introduced for model year 1957.

Th Golden Hawk was built till 1958. The Silver Hawk till one year later. For model year 1960 the name additions Golden and Silver were dropped. From that year on, these models were only called Hawk.
Late 1961 the Hawk was succeeded by the Gran Turismo Hawk. It underwent a restyle, mainly at the rear (the tall fins were dropped) done by Brooks Stevens (USA, 1911-1995).
This treatment gave the car a more modern look, and sales increased threefold to 8388 units in the year of introduction.

According to provided info by the official Dutch car registration office this car has a 6 cylinder engine. And that's strange while the Hawk Gran Turismo normally has a V8 4736 cc engine. So I don't know if this is correct.

It's such a pity I did not make a picture of the rear side.

2779 cc L6 engine.
1400 kg.
Production Studebaker Hawk Series: Autumn 1955-1964.
