Golden Hawk 400 ideas. Clone? Engineering?

[Aero Blue]

Starlight. The 10 Show Car "400" were all equipped the same and all painted the same.(Tiara Gold with Arctic White fin and side grilles). All had power windows. You could order the "production" 400's to your own taste. I believe several of the productions cars had sticks/OD.

Ok, I'll try and get the P.O, and let you guys know what I find myself. I don't know when that will happen though, just to warn you guys.

The car has the white side grills, and the correct dash. I'll post some pictures of the car soon.

It being restored once apon a time with a 400 donor is a possibility, seeing how it has so many of the 400 parts. Thanks for the idea!

Dylan, my 400 series Hawk was sold several years back and parted out here in Alabama. I still have my body tag:57H-K7
The doors were sold, but interior still in it - - -perhaps he got mine?? 2761
It was black with the white leather, power windows, that fabulous looking hoodscoop, (which I put on my SkyHawk), supercharger, etc. Wish I had known then what I had, it was VERY restorable. Neat cars, and I only have a couple of very poor pics of it- - oh well. Life goes on, John

I sure thought the 400's came with electric windows????? Maybe not....Keep on Studebakering

Maybe some guy who restored the car way back in the past made one 1957 GH out of two.
The 400 contributed with the interior.

Is there any dash that is more manly than round gages mounted in machine turned stainless? I love that!

FWIW, here's the interior of an authentic 400 in the SNM.

Also White side grill air inlet pans and white dash pad.

If his Production Order does not call out Leather Interior, it can't be a deviation/prototype.

I was refering more to the packard hawks having tan interiors, LOL! Thank for the clarification though!

Oh, and the car has a WHITE leather interior, not the tan like the Packard hawks, or so I was informed that was there color.
