Vehicle Description
1963 STUDEBAKER GRAN TURISMO HAWK T-1316 This 1963 Studebaker Gran
Turismo Hawk is a middle year example of the Hawk line's final
evolution. Built between 1962 and 1964, just under 14,000 of these
sporty coupes were made over a period where Ford managed to sell
nearly 17 times that many of the competing Thunderbird. For 1963,
the car was slightly restyled, with refinements to the front,
sides, and rear. Round parking lights below the headlights replaced
the previous rectangular ones, set into the corners of the newly
closed side grilles that bore a squared pattern of lines over fine
mesh. This same squared mesh pattern was carried over onto the main
grille, replacing the simple fine mesh of the 1962 models. Early in
1963 production the parking light bezels were changed and the right
side of the dash became woodgrain, matching the area around the
instruments. The doors had red, white, and blue emblems added next
to the Gran Turismo emblems, and at the rear, the aluminum
overlay's colors were reversed and red, white, and blue were added
to the Hawk emblem on the top of the trunk lid. Inside, 1963 Hawks
have vertical pleats in the seat upholstery, replacing the 1962's
horizontal pleats, and have far superior vinyl. This particular
Studebaker is a rust-free, dependable driver. This 289ci V8/4-speed
car is mostly original apart from one respray. The engine and
transmission have recently been rebuilt for a care free owning
experience. Equipped with power steering and power (front) disc
brakes, and A/C, original hubcaps, thin white wall tires, and a
wood grain dash that ties in the numerous gauges at your disposal.
The newly finished exterior color is a factory-correct Champagne
Gold Poly finish. The new upholstery is laid out in a regal red
leather that really complements the car and shows very well. The
glass, rubber and trim are in good condition. If you are looking
for a California classic that is not of your every day variety,
you've found it! ***If you are viewing this on Facebook
