RARE-RARE-RARE AWARD WINNING 1957 STUDEBAKER GOLDEN HAWK THIS IS AN ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA CAR. Second owner had this beauty for 20 years. Less than 2k miles were put on it in those 20 years. I know what you’re going to think. BUT this car was honestly stored in a barn in the mountains of Colorado. The octogenarian told me that the car was only in the rain once during the 20 years he owned it. and definitely not on purpose. This RARE CLASSIC TOOK 2ND PLACE IN THE INTERNATIONAL STUDEBAKER DRIVERS CLUB MEET in Rapid City. South Dakota. and TOOK 1ST PLACE & BEST IN CLASS IN THE NORTH CENTRAL ZONE MEET. In 1957 the bold-looking Studebaker Golden Hawk sported cleaner styling and improved overall performance thanks to a new supercharged 289/275 HP engine replacing the aging and heavy Packard unit. The new driveline relieved the front end of 100 pounds. with a proportionate increase in performance and handling. Appropriately painted in the most popular Tiara Gold and Arctic White color combination with a matching color coordinated interior. this 1957 Golden Hawk has been fully restored with no expense spared.
