...and it certainly isn't in 1978, either...YEOW!
Another interesting item in the May 2008 Hemmings Muscle Machines is a report of the collector-car auction at Hershey PA last fall. (No, I don't know why this was in Hemmings Muscle Machines instead of Hemmings Classic Car.)
Anyway, sold at the auction was what the writer described as a #4 -#4, MIND YOU- 1962 Gran Turismo Hawk. The entire description below the postage-stamp photo of this ordinary-looking '62 Hawk reads:
"Despite what some might say, a Hawk with a Stude 289 could run with the best of them in 1962. We've even seen Studebakers blow off Chevelles in drag racing events. [Now where did they see that?]
The seller proclaimed this car was a matching-numbers [??] Arizona car, where it remained until 2007. Coupled to the 289 was a Flight-o-Matic transmission. The white paint seemed decent, although there were paint chips and a crack on the top of the passenger's side quarter panel.
There was some minor rust on the driver's side lower quarter panel and the trunk lid fit was terrible. Supposedly the car was restored, but it must have been some time ago."
And at what figure did the above-described Hawk hammer down? $17,500 - SOLD! [:0][:0] You betcha! YOWZERS!

We've got to quit saying, 
You bet, Gary! Studebaker folks can read between the lines of that description [:0] and gasp while clutching their chests when they see that selling price.
