'Just noticed this item in The Hagerty Daily Blog. It is in the area where members volunteer their stories of why "Life is Better in a Classic," per the current Hagerty theme:
That color combination, described as perfect, is the very color combination Ted Harbit chose when ordering his new, 1957 Silver Hawk. It was a Power Kit 289 with overdrive and, really, a heavy duty clutch. 'Can't imagine why he'd want that.
Ted would later trade that Silver Hawk toward a slightly-used 1957 Golden Hawk 400, a real one we have documented, at Snider Auto Service, Studebaker dealer in Indianapolis.
George Krem bought Ted's Hawk as a used car off Snider's lot, but didn't know until years later that it was the same one Ted had ordered new and traded to Snider.
And the story ended when George traded the Silver Hawk back to Snider, toward his brand new, Bermuda Brown 1964 Studebaker Challenger 2-door, the car that would become known decades later as The Plain Brown Wrapper.
Small World.
