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.
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.
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.

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.
The first generation of Chevy’s popular Corvette sports car and grand tourer was revealed to the public in 1953. Called the C1, it ran until 1962, and sold just over 69,000 units. Today, finding a C1 is a little tough, but not impossible. You’ll find pristinely-kept, bone-stock examples, fixer-uppers, daily runners and restomods, like this Texas-based 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod. This car packs a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated LT1 from a later Corvette, as well as aftermarket Z06-style wheels and a 4L60E 4-speed autobox. These, plus many other refinements make this a classic Corvette that you can daily drive with comfort and confidence.
First generation Ford Mustangs are some of the most popular first-time classic cars around. Think we’re mistaken? Well, based on the amount of them that we’ve shifted, we beg to differ. With well over 2.5 million first-gen ‘Stangs created, there’s definitely no shortage of them around. You’ve got six or eight-cylinder power, three alluring body styles to pick from, and manual or automatic transmissions. So, choosing a first-generation Mustang is really down to your specific tastes and desires. Today’s example is a 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible from Portland, Oregon. It’s got a 302ci V8 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, and also rocks an aftermarket radio. So do let us know if you’d like to own this sub-36,000 mile pony.
The Corvette bagged the nickname "America's Sports Car" almost immediately after its 1953 debut. The reason being that it was the first American Sports Car to successfully rival European models. The second generation of the Corvette was a significant period for the company. During that time, Corvette saw record sales, introduced a new engine, and adopted the two-word "Sting Ray" branding. This stunning example of the 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible belongs to the second generation. With a reported 6964 miles on its odometer, this beauty is currently located in Round Rock, Texas. If you are in the market for classics that carry a rich history and a Sunday cruiser that harks you back to olden times, this is the perfect car for you.
