Hi everyone. My name is David and I am from SW Virginia.
I have been driving by a 59 Silver Hawk for about a year and never new what it was. I always that it was an interesting car so I stopped yesterday and asked about it.
59 Silver Hawk V8 Auto with A/C. The person who has it got it on a trade and knows nothing about it. The engine turns over with the starter (I took a battery out to it). But I didnt want to actually start it. The floor pans are shot as is the trunk floor. All of the brightwork is there but laying inside the car. The engine appears to be original and the ac compressor is present
The previous owner appears to have stripped the interior of carpet and headliner but the seats are there.
Where do I begin to look for parts? Are parts available?
I understand what I am getting into as my Dad and I have restored a 49 Plymouth, 3 Camaros and a 47 willys Jeep.
So....the guy wants 3500 for it. I could probably do a little better than that but is it worth it?
I know nothing about Studebakers and didnt even know what it was until I saw the Silver Hawk Script on the fin.
I am going to try to get some pictures of it and I will post them here when I can.
Thanks in advance. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Dave
