Description for Studebaker Golden Hawk 1957

This is one of the most sensational Studebakers of all time and was the "top dog" in 11 car Virginia collection. It was inspired by the great grand touring cars of Europe. It had significant power, for it time, with its McCulloch (Paxton) belt driven supercharger on Studebaker's 289 V-8 that produced 275 hp at 4800 RPM. Yet it had family seating, and smooth comfortable riding.
It under went a complete frame off (body off) in 04 that ended about a year later. Just about every part that would come off was taken off, replaced, rebuilt, or refurbished. Corroded areas were cut out and welded in placed with new metal components parts from Classic Industries, no Bondo to hide rust, no pop rivets for mechanical purposes.

They are not number 1 show quality but, because they are driven many judges say a number 1 car has to be a "trailer queen". If there are any questions, or if a part was not covered, please feel free to ask, it probably was replaced. Car is located in Deltaville, Va and is owned by its only SDC member.
