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.
Studebaker is one of those legendary American automakers that’s long gone but never forgotten. Our automotive history is full of brands that gave us iconic machines—cars that still stir emotion decades later in a way modern tech-focused brands may never match. Today’s vehicles are fast and advanced, but will they inspire the same connection fifty years from now? Will they even survive that long? Classic cars were built with longevity, soul, and mechanical simplicity, not planned obsolescence. That’s why a seventy-two-year-old build like this 1953 Studebaker Commander Pro Street build still exists—and still turns heads. Based out of Hiawatha, Iowa, this restomod has been transformed into a true street-strip performer, featuring a massive LS6 V8 with the current owner reporting just under 700 miles since completion. It’s a striking custom that’s ready for its next run.
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.
With its roots in 1885, the Triumph Motor Company of Great Britain is one of the country’s most well-known sports car makers. They’re known for a fine line-up of TR models which are sports cars, typically open-topped ones called Roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went bust in 1984, but the assets are currently owned by BMW. While the Bavarian automaker shows no plans to resurrect the brand, much of their historic production still remains alive. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one such example and it’s for sale in Greenville, South Carolina. With its 2.5-liter straight six, convertible top cover and original owner’s manual, this is a fine catch for someone who wishes to sample the British Roadster lifestyle. And let us tell you, it’s quite an addictive driving experience!
Now here’s a legend of the muscle car scene, the fearsome Oldsmobile 442. Made between 1964 and 1980 as a proper performance machine, it was well-known for decimating nearly all comers at the drag strip. The 442 was potent out of the box, but it could also be tuned with near unlimited scope. Today, those who seek a 442 do so not only for its performative capabilities but its style as well. That’s why we are proud to offer this Torrance-based second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale. With under 107,000 miles, it’s definitely been enjoyed but has so much more to give. Of course when you’ve got a 400ci V8 under the hood and a stick shift to control it with, you don’t want to end journeys too quickly…
Now here’s a lovely golden oldie that will put a smile on your face every time you grab its keys and head out to take it for a spin. This pleasing first-generation 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible could be yours if you like. Up for sale in West Palm Beach, Florida with a mere 52,636 miles on the clock, it’s a fine first-generation example of a trend-setter. Yes, if not for the Mustang, we wouldn’t have the pony car segment, as well as models like the Chevy Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, etc. The Mustang not only created a segment, it redefined what the fun but practical car could be. This particular example packs the popular 289ci V8 under the hood, and comes with a manual transmission. It’s also got factory air conditioning!
