1961 Studebaker

Love that Studebaker hawk. I had a 1956 Power Hawk as my first "pet" car. It was all original except I transplanted a 289 V-8 with Carter AFB 4-barrel carb to replace the 259 V-8 with 2 barrel carb. Pretty powerful car before the big displacement horsepower race began.

I never owned a Studebaker but I had a friend who had a Studebaker truck and swore by it. They were great cars but I never cared much for the design.

I believe this car and its siblings was/were designed by Raymond Loewy. Not sure but that is my recollection, Beautiful car, nicely photographed.

Awesome looking car, never saw one. Looks like a cross between an old vetted and a 57 Chevy
Any idea of value, I want one.

Another great contribution. I don't know, this might just be me, but I can remember when I was younger and if I saw a car coming down the road toward me, I usually could identify it before it got to me. Buick, Olds, Chevy, Ford, Plymouth, Dodge, Cadillac, etc and very often nail it as to the year. Now if I wonder what make a particular vehicle is, I have to walk around it and find the insignia and read what it says.

Well, I have no idea how many of us there are, but you certainly aren't the only one!

I thought there was a GT Hawk. My older brother had one for a few years. I believe his was a 63. Don't recall what engine it had in it but it was a pretty hot car. I got my driver's license around the time he had that car, but he never let me drive it.

Nice photos of a stylish vehicle for its day and still pleasing to the eye. Had a friend who had one. I believe it was a 1960 with the 289 cu.in.

Buddy of mine had one. We dropped an Oldsmobile 400 CU in engine in it. Went like hammers.
