  • I just got some great news.

    Bob Tomaine, an automotive writer and photographer came to my house last fall to take some pictures and do an article on my Hawk. I just got an e-mail from him and my car is on the cover of "Automobile Restorer" magazine. Its the Feburary issue. I haven't read the article yet, but I will as soon as I get a few copies. Studebakers are starting to show up everywhere.

      Has Automobile Restorer magazine ever done a feature article on the GT Hawk? Their website does not list an index.

          Congrats, Jeff. Good show! BP
          We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

                      Beautiful car Jeff, it appears a Beige or a vanilla color, it's not that rare 1960 Bamboo Yellow is it? [^]

                      I like the stance, it appears to be GOING somewhere, [^] as opposed to some cars that appear to be stopping, if you know what I mean!

                        Its the original color which is P 6024 "Sudan Beige" Its not on the 60 color charts because it was a late 60 color. Its on the 61 color chart.
