With a breathtaking name like Hawk you might think that this is quite a glamorous car, and you’re right. The Studebaker Hawk was a two-door personal luxury car launched by American automaker Studebaker. Sadly, Studebaker isn’t around anymore, but it’s likely that your parents or grandparents had heard of it. They may have even owned one, and sung its praises to you. Today, we’ve got a stunning 1960 Studebaker Hawk with some neat performance upgrades making it a real sleeper of a car. This sub-14,000 mile machine currently resides peacefully in Granite Bay, California, and is ripe for the taking if subtle looks and menacing performance are your things.
Exterior and Interior
This 1960 Studebaker Hawk wears a smooth coat of beige paint, and comes replete with signature Sixties details such as whitewall tires, custom painted wheel covers, chrome bumpers, chrome mirrors, and of course, fins. The car also has a set of Aqua Blue neon lights beneath for that street rod vibe at night. Inside, you’ve got a rather refined cabin experience thanks to Dynamat insulation with a full carpet kit. This 1960 Studebaker Hawk features seating for four on blue upholstered bench seats, while an Alpine audio system awaits to serenade everyone with music of their choice. There’s air conditioning as well, which is great in this ever-warming world.
Engine
Now for the real deal of this 1960 Studebaker Hawk. It’s got a Studebaker 289ci V8 that’s been stroked and bored out to 341ci, but that’s not all. The engine benefits from custom forged pistons, high speed lightweight rods, a welded, ground and hardened Studebaker crankshaft, a port matched and polished aluminum intake, ported, swirled and polished heads, oversized stainless steel valves, big block competition roller rockers, a special Ground D Elgin cam, R3 exhaust manifold headers, 3 chamber Flowmaster dual exhausts and a custom built Mallory UniLite distributor. Oh, and the engine also gets a boost from a Jacobs Mastermind NOS system. Power goes to the rear wheels via a 700R4 automatic transmission and 9-inch 3.89 rear end with positraction. The car also packs front disc and rear drum brakes.

Showing 76,087 miles, this 1960 Studebaker Lark VIII Convertible is an example of Studebaker’s distinctive compact V8 platform, combining classic styling with the performance-oriented Lark VIII drivetrain. Finished in red with a red/black interior and tan convertible soft top, this open-air cruiser is powered by a 259ci V8 paired with a 3-speed Flight-O-Matic automatic transmission, offering a unique alternative to the more common offerings from Detroit’s Big Three.
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. Its charming appearance, all-steel bed floor, and iconic Studebaker character make it equally suitable for local shows, weekend cruises, or display in a vintage vehicle collection.
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 Chevrolet Chevelle became one of America's most recognizable nameplates during the 1960s, offering everything from practical family transportation to serious V8 performance. Introduced as Chevrolet's answer to the growing intermediate-size market, the Chevelle quickly established itself as a favorite among American motorists, with the Malibu serving as its more upscale and stylish offering. The 1966 model year brought a significant redesign, introducing the sweeping body lines, sculpted rear quarters, and distinctive styling that helped define the Chevelle's second generation. This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible captures that era beautifully, finished in classic Tropic Turquoise with a matching Turquoise interior and contrasting White convertible soft top. Under the hood sits a 283ci V8 paired with a three-speed column-shift manual transmission, an increasingly uncommon configuration affectionately known as the "three-on-the-tree." With power steering, power brakes, and factory-style appointments, this Malibu offers a traditional American motoring experience. Showing approximately 34,122 miles, this turquoise convertible is an appealing choice for enthusiasts who appreciate the simplicity, character, and open-air enjoyment of a classic Chevrolet.
Cadillac has always been synonymous with American luxury, and few cars capture the brand's traditional character quite like the 1984 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. With its unmistakable squared-off styling, generous proportions, and unmistakably American road presence, the Coupe DeVille represents an era when personal luxury coupes were designed to make a statement. This particular example takes that philosophy a step further, combining classic Cadillac elegance with a distinctive custom aesthetic. Finished in a vibrant Turquoise Blue custom paint job with a matching padded vinyl roof, this Coupe DeVille features oversized chrome wheels, a lowered stance, and a beautifully coordinated reupholstered tufted leather interior. The custom touches continue into the trunk, where an elaborate audio installation featuring four Audiobahn subwoofers and dual Hifonics Zeus amplifiers brings modern sound to this vintage cruiser. Showing just 20,268 miles, this 1984 Cadillac Coupe DeVille offers an eye-catching combination of old-school American luxury and personalized styling. For enthusiasts who appreciate classic Cadillacs with a custom twist, this turquoise beauty certainly knows how to stand out.
The Plymouth Fury established itself as a popular choice among American law enforcement agencies during the 1960s, thanks to its durable construction, spacious cabin, and dependable V8 power. This 1966 Plymouth Fury II Four-Door Sedan captures that era with its distinctive Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) styling, traditional Black and White exterior, and an impressive collection of vintage police equipment. Showing just 10,630 miles, this example features a 318ci V8 paired with an automatic transmission and a Turquoise interior. Highlights include a roof-mounted emergency beacon, LAPD-style insignias, Motorola Motrac radio equipment, and a Federal Interceptor siren controller.
