Folks of the classic car community, take it easy. We know these beauties don’t appear in the market often and we could not be more thrilled to have this car join our inventory. If you are unfamiliar with what you are looking at, Studebaker is an American automobile manufacturer that left a big legacy behind it among classic car enthusiasts. Their Golden Hawk model is a two-door pillarless hardtop personal luxury car produced between 1956 and 1958. How remarkable is it to come across a Golden Hawk from its very first model year, especially in such a pristine condition as this one? According to its owner, this 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Hardtop Coupe only has 73,342 miles on its clock. It is claimed that it is one of 4,071 produced for the 1956 model year.
The 1964 Studebaker Challenger was the entry-level midsize model in the South Bend automaker’s lineup, offering understated styling and dependable mechanicals at an affordable price. Today, it represents a rare sight on American roads, appealing to collectors of orphan brands and enthusiasts of mid-century design. This example, finished in blue over a matching blue interior, has been repainted in its original color and is reported to remain largely original, preserving the authenticity that makes it special.
Studebakers are among the more under-appreciated classics of the 1940s and 50s. With distinctive styling and fewer survivors than their counterparts from the “Big 3”, a classic Studebaker is a very desirable car to own. The Champion was produced from 1939 to 1958 across 5 generations. The 3rd generation (1947-52) was the last full-size Champion (the later models were mid-sized). It was available as either a 2- or 4-door sedan, a 2-door convertible or a 2-door coupe (the station wagon version never made it past the prototype stage) and captured the market well, accounting for over 65% of Studebaker sales in its first year.
One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
Nothing beats the experience of cruising around town in a classic first-generation Ford Mustang Convertible. Imagine what buyers must have felt like back then? Ford’s hit pony car was literally flying off the showroom floors. For the first full production year, 1965, Ford sold over half a million! This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible is one of them, and it’s now available to purchase in Jacksonville, Florida. With just under 40,000 miles, this pony packs a nice 302 under the hood, paired with power steering and a front disc brake conversion for better stopping prowess.
The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro represents the pinnacle of first-generation Camaro design, and this example stands out as a true X55-coded Super Sport, not a later badge addition or clone. Factory SS cars are increasingly difficult to find, especially examples that retain their numbers-matching engine, transmission, and rear drivetrain, making this Camaro particularly appealing to collectors seeking authenticity over modification. This car is further distinguished by its inclusion of original documentation, including the Protect-O-Plate, original dealer window sticker, and owner’s manual, all of which reinforce its provenance and long-term collectibility. Extensive professional work has been completed to preserve and refine the car, resulting in a turn-key classic that delivers an experience faithful to how a genuine Super Sport was meant to be enjoyed.
