    One Stude Hawk in the latest edition of Barn Find. Anyone figure out what the car is next to the Daytona at 5:40 0n the tape?

    Could be a Chrysler 300, possibly 1958.

        Several million dollars worth of cars and none for sale.
        Money may not buy happiness, but it's more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle.

          There is a final Stude right at the end of the video that he calls a custom - it's a later finned hawk. Maybe a Packard Hawk?

            The one at the end does appear to be customized. At about 13 minutes there is a 1957 (perhaps 1958) Golden Hawk.

              The Hawk appears to be a 1957 Golden Hawk, possibly a 400, the Interior IS White!
              At least the Parking lights are not '58 anyway.

              It has been modified to INSTALL A Modern A/C Unit and Alternator but keeping the Supercharger.

                Looks like it could be a 400 but can't see enough of the interior to be sure. If he'd only get his arm out of the way of the body tag we'd have a better idea! Although it appears to be a 3 digit number so would too early to be a 400. I hate to see all these cars stashed away, they'd look so nice out on the road.

                  It's a 1957 Chrysler 300. Earlier in the tape, at about 3:40, rather than 5:40, you get a better view of it. BP

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

                        I like in Raleigh , NC and have spent hours at this awesome collection of cars . There are like 4 Studebaker hawks I have photos of the 57 and I do not recall it being a 400 model. what you don't see in the video is the long path through the woods where it is lined with cars of all makes ...just a junk yard find I believe I recall a 1950 in the woods. The location is Pittsboro, NC near Raleigh , NC
                        Billy the owner is just a great man and very religious . His work through these many years was painting cars...sometimes he did 3 cars a week.
                        HE WILL NOT SELL ANY CARS OR PARTS I visited the sight with the local Raleigh AACA car club . It is without a doubt the largest barn find collection of cars in the country

                          An amazing collection! He must have been an excellent painter to amass all those cars!
