"I have always admired Studebakers, and in particular the coupe and hard top range built between 1953 and 1964.
High on my wish list was a finned Hawk. When this car was advertised with my dream mechanical specification I was very interested.
The car was modified in Texas during the 1970’s. A supercharged R2 engine from a 1963 Super Hawk GT along with a close ratio T10 gearbox.
I purchased the car from a collector in Arizona in 2003 and imported it to Queensland.
I drove the car until 2006 when I pulled the car off the road for a body on bare metal respray ,new interior, air conditioning and mechanical refurbishment. The work was completed a year later.
Since then the Hawk has covered in excess of 30,000 miles and provided our family with a lot of pleasure. We are members of the Studebaker Car Club of Queensland which is a very active club."
