trade / 57 goldenhawk

[oltrknut]

I have a freind with a 57 Goldenhawk,A complete unmolested car, with the 400 interior,it is RUSTY, and needs complete RESTORATION. He wants to trade for something with a supercharger and drivable. Finding him a substitue may keep this car intact.

If it really has a 400 interior, it may be one of the 41 unaccounted-for 400s. Please post the Serial Number (or send me a PM) and I will check with 400 Roster-Keeper Tom Lawlis, who is not on the forum.

Tom has all 51 400 Serial Numbers, but, understandably, does not want to publish them and risk the possibility of clones being created with new Serial Number plates. A genuine 1957 Golden Hawk 400, properly restored, is one of the more valuable postwar Studebakers, thus tempting misrepresented cars.

However, Tom is more than happy to verify a Serial Number as being a genuine 400. He would like to add any newcomers to the known list of documented survivors, which currently stands at only 10 of the 51 originally produced.

Thanks. BP

I know of one that I took parts from bout 30 years ago. It did not survive a garage fire. Some of the pieces still exist today. Hood louvers, supercharger, side grille stainless darts, side grille sheet metal, and wheel well mouldings. Had I known then what I known now the serial plate and body tags would be existing on a different 57. jimmijim

Not to take this thread too far off course, but if more of us listed our locations, the swap, barter and assistance activity among us club members would be a lot easier.
