Vehicle Description
4580-TPA 1962 Studebaker Hawk Gran Turismo
This beautiful 1962 Studebaker Hawk Gran Turismo is a true study in
contrasts. That elegant, polished union of Americana and European
design flair, while the hot-rodded V8 and four-speed gearbox hint
at a thrilling side. Highlighted by a Mercedes-inspired grille and
Halibrand-style mag wheels measuring 15 inches wrapped in 225/70R15
redline tires, its exterior stands as a tribute to an era when
elegance met the raw pulse of muscle car ethos. Notably, the car
doesn't wear any stripes, maintaining a sleek, uninterrupted flow
from its rounded front to its tapering tail, which all but whispers
tales of a storied past on the boulevard.
Inside, a blue vinyl theme dominates, from the bucket seats to the
dashboard, offering a crisp, clean aesthetic that contrasts sharply
with the black dash. Chrome accents around the gauges catch the
light, reflecting a meticulous attention to detail. A working AM
radio, central console with storage, and floor-shifted 4-speed
manual gearbox are ready to enhance any drive. The entire cabin
holds its vintage charm immaculately, ensuring every element is
aligned for a comfortable journey, complemented by the subtle
practicality of a cream-colored headliner and matching sunvisors
that show only a hint of gentle use.
Beneath its poised exterior lies a brawny 289 V8 engine, topped
with dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors that suggest this Hawk
doesn't just cruise-it soars. Mated to a robust 4-speed manual
transmission, the setup is perfect for those who admire the
hands-on engagement of driving. Front A-arm suspension with coil
springs and rear leaf springs handle the undulations of the road
with ease, while the drum brakes at each corner bring this elegant
behemoth to a stop with unpretentious efficiency. Dual exhausts
affirm the car's performance capability, emitting a sound that is
as delightful to the enthusiast's ear as the car's appearance is to
their eyes.
