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 postwar pickup market was fiercely competitive, but Studebaker managed to stand apart with distinctive styling, solid engineering, and a reputation for durability. This 1950 Studebaker 2R5 Pickup represents that era well, combining classic American truck design with practical utility. Showing approximately 10,070 miles on the odometer, this truck benefits from a reupholstered interior and retains many of its period-correct details, making it an appealing choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

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.

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.
The 1985 Toyota Celica Supra P-Type represents the golden era of Japanese grand touring, blending sharp styling, rear-wheel-drive performance, and impressive refinement into one highly desirable package.

Showing 127,627 miles, this Black example remains a compelling classic that’s equally suited for weekend cruising, collector events, or anyone looking to experience one of Toyota’s most influential sports coupes.
The 1987 Buick Regal Grand National stands as one of the most legendary American performance cars of the 1980s, proving that turbocharging could outperform the era’s traditional V8-powered rivals. Widely regarded as the pinnacle of Buick’s turbocharged G-body lineup, the final-year Grand National became an instant icon thanks to its sinister all-black appearance and formidable factory performance. Showing just 38,354 miles, this example retains the unmistakable character that made the Grand National a legend among enthusiasts. Disclaimer: Rebuilt shown on title.
