1959/60 Studebaker Hawk For Restoration/Parts......Many Addl. Parts Included!!!!

1959 Studebaker Hawk Description

For 1959, the Silver Hawk became the only Hawk model in production, largely because Studebaker dealers wanted a glamorous flagship model as a dealership draw. Those customers would more than likely walk out with Studebaker's last-ditch hope, the newLarkcompact. In fact, the Silver Hawk was the only non-Lark model kept.

Changes for 1959 included new tailfins, with the "Silver Hawk" script moved to the fins instead of on the trunk lid (where new individual block letters spelling out STUDEBAKER were placed), with a new Hawk badge in between the two words. The parking lights moved to the side grilles from the front fenders, chrome moldings around the windows (from the 1953–1954 models) similar to the Golden Hawk were added, and the interior was somewhere in between the two former models' levels of luxury.

This was my first car. My dad and I worked on it and I drove it daily to high school.

I parked it in 1979 when I upgraded to a Chevy Nova.

It's taken me this long to part with it due to sentimental reasons; but I've reached a time in my life when it's no longer feasible to restore it.

My loss is your gain!

Along with the Hawk comes additional parts including front fenders, fins, hubcaps, wheels (I'm not sure how many) and other parts that are overhead in the garage.

The VIN NUMBER is: 60V39198

The trunk and most of the floor pans are solid. The frame was solid when I parked it and it's been garage stored on blocks.

I have a clear title in hand!

The transmission is not original, but the gear shift on the column is intact.
