  • 57 Hawk - drew folks to gawk

    Wife and I took the Stude, Friday night, ( it's first real public outing)to meet friends for my 65th birthday dinner. As I have not yet replaced the non-op door locks, I parked close to the entrance, where I could quickly come out to check on it periodically.
    Each time I peered out the door, there were 2-4 people drooling over it , cornering me and asking me so many questions, I had to gulp my Margaritas and eat my dinner in shifts !
    One fellow mentioned that it did not have the normal 57 fins, I replied " rear end (rear fenders/deck) is a 1956", his wife
    pointed to her backside, then blurted, "well my rear end is a 1959 !" They then returned inside for another Margarita, while I was still rolling on the ground in laughter ! In conclusion-
    had a great time and possibly gained some future Stude owners.

      You'll soon learn to schedule in extra "gawker time" anytime you go anywhere in your Hawk.

        Dennis, take the car out make the time and then "WALK AND TALK AND TELL YOUR STORY." Why you might say to spread the gosspel of Studebaker to those who do not know it and potentially convert some more interested people to the hobby. Congrats on your debut with the car. [8D]
