    Usually, I don't care for restomods but this one is very well done. The car overall looks original, in fact, I didn't know it was a restomod until you pointed out. Love the gold color and the wire wheels, its a real looker! Great video Lou!

    I have always found these Studebakers' to be stunners. It appears to be a throwback, in one way, to the vehicles from the 40s era, where the radiator was very prominent, and the headlights were mounted on separate fenders.

    This 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk with that Aztec Gold looks wonderful! I liked the combination of white in the beautiful rear wings, the large front grille with that shield logo, and under the headlights those stylized air intakes fitted to finish with the large and elegant chrome bumper (special mention for the beautiful wheels, with chrome spoke rings and white strips). The engine bay with that big Supercharged V8 looks superb too. When you open the door, all the beauty and elegance of the interior unfolds before your eyes; from the steering wheel adorned by that large chrome partition, to the beautiful upholstered seats next to the instrument panel. The scale model of the trunk was fantastic, and looks like an almost exact copy, down to the colours, of the full-size one (of course, not forgetting that original "supercharger" brochure that was still in the glove compartment). The walk at the end was very pleasant, as always. Congratulations to Cindy, on her stylish automotive Eva! And to think that it all started with a nice scale model, haha. Great catch, with this vehicle, Lou!

  • @drakbar5957
    @drakbar5957 10 месяцев назад +4

    After the Packard engine plant shut down, Studebaker strapped a supercharger on their 289 and the Golden Hawk became a muscle car in ‘57. Dealers clamored for bucket seats and a four on the floor, but that didn’t happen until 1961. This Hawk is painted in the color combination that everyone wants - gold body and white fins. On a scale of 1-10, this Stude beauty is a 20!

    When I heard resto mod, I was afraid we were going to find a LS under the hood.....
    I was greatly surprised it has the correct engine. And what an engine.... those VS (Variable Speed) superchargers are really cool.
    The Hawk's are another of those cars I didn't like the looks of in the 60's. But it has grown on me over the years as newer cars have become more and more soulless...
    Great car, Lou.

    This car was always a favorite of mine growing up. I was 12 in 1957, and it seemed to be so far ahead of its time. I always loved the daring design. Everyone always mentions the '57 Chevy and '57 Chrysler cars, but this car had fins that were dominant ! The font end had more of a European design, which the public wasn't really ready for yet. Great looking car ! Thanks for the video. 👍

    • @TimoIivonen
      @TimoIivonen 2 месяца назад

      Hello how are you? I want to share you
      This is a message from your loving God.
      God is a loving God and want to save us all.
      God dont want anybody to suffer or have a hard life. Meaning of life is love and that's what God wants. Thats the meaning of life. If we would take care and love each other that would solve all the problems. But world is not like that. World is a sinful world. God dont destroy this world but we humans do. His immediately ready if you want to serve him. God will show you the right path what leads to life. Its a path of love. God made us and have eternal love and mercy. This world is not what God wanted. But he gave us free will. You can choose good or bad. Thats why he send he's only son Jesus that we had mercy. Jesus is God too because he is God's only son. Now this world have went to very wicked and our God is crying. So many peoples are on the path of destruction. World have allways been wicked but now is extremely bad times going on. God want's peoples to come back to serve him and he wants to give forever life and happiness. God is a God of love, mercy, justice and a judgment.
      He love us peoples as much as hes son Jesus.
      There is one big lie going on this world. Its an evolution lie. First please think this thing. Why all the fruits, berrys and vegetables taste so good? Anybody can go to own home kitchen and try to do the same taste. Then look up please and watch those extremely beautiful birds. Do you really believe birds came from dinosaurs? We need very light bones, right size, correct shape, a bird's beak and feathers. And the same time birds are very beautiful. I send only these two questions to evolution professor and nothing came back(Why berries taste so good and how those little birds survived without wings)
      Then they say evolution gave animals camoflash to survive. Well if we look black panther. They say it's black because it's a night-time hunter and that black color also give it protection during night-time. First thing: evolution dont have brains and it gave that black color they say. Second thing: Please think how many shades of colors are and all animal have to be black.
      Third thing: Then they say there were many panthers with another color also and the best color was left. Because it's the best color in the nigh time. This is a lie also because: if you think like evolutionist's: the animals system also have to know to do black anymore. Rabbit is also brown when it's a summer and white when it's a winter. We need intelligence to do that.
      They say also evolution develops animals or Humans what kind of element we live. Why then fish have gills and whale have lungs? They say first came the first cell and that was finally a fish. And then finally fish came to land and it was frog or something.
      But thats inpossible because gills should also transform to lungs under the water. They brake their own logic when they say that. And how about a whale. Whale proves also God is real because it have lungs. Theory of evolution tells everything started from ocean.
      They also say that plants came from ocean and thats why we have now.
      Thats a lie because:
      The plants have an underwater pollination system. If something comes to the beach it will die for it. And they are breaking their logic again. Fish and other water animals and plants belong to sea.
      Only our loving God can create life and everything what we humans and animals need. People can try to think but the deeper we try to dig the more lost we are. We cant ever create life from nothing.
      A simple car engine also needs its maker, parts, fuel and the right structure to work.
      I had health problems about six years ago. Finally it was so bad i thought im gonna die. My heart was beating fast. My blood pressure was high. Then i started to lose my energy. When i try to walk my legs felt heavy and my stamina went very bad also. Then i started losing my sleep. Eventually i crashed a little into the road and asked God and Jesus to help. Finally I started to run in the toilet all the time too. Then the very awful thing came. I lost fastly almost all my ability to sleep and I started to loose my weight. Blood came out of my nose and I started to lost my hairs too. I visit hospitals and private hospitals too but they couldn't help me. They gave me beta blockers to my heart and finally medicine to my high blood pressure too. I wanted to get inside the hospital but they refused to take me in. In private hospitals they couldn't understand why they dont take me in the main hospital. Finally I contact to other country and I asked can you take me in the hospital. Then they asked where are you here? I told im in the other country and I need a help. But they told me we cant take you in because you dont live here. So I can tell you money didnt help me. Later I told my family im gonna die very soon because I felt completely awful. Finally I asked again God to help me. Then finally my Mother saw one Angel vision and three Jesus vision. After that it took few days and my health came back. I got my sleeping back and my heart started to calm down. I started to gain weight. Blood pressure went back to normal and finally I got all my hairs back. This Is very short version what happend to me but I was close to death. God Is real and loves us very much. When you begin to seek God you Will find True love. Read the Bible too please because its a perfect book. Thats how you know God Is real💕🙏. Read what Jesus told because its perfect talk💕🙏

    One of my favorite cars of all time! I imagine, that the dry climate out West helped keep it from rusting away to ths point of no return.
    I remember seeing a couple of these in the late 1980's in a farm field in Georgia. They weren't marked as for sale & hadn't been moved in years judging from the plant growth around them. I often drove past them in the course of my work. Unfortunate for them in the Deep South (Southeast US), it's too humid & rust had just about gotten the best of them. Sour grapes, but I was too busy in those days, to even think about inquiring about them & taking them on as a project.

    A BEAUTIFUL car!!! I don't know much about Studebakers but I like this one. It's only lightly modified which I like also. She said that they pulled it from a junkyard I believe. That's great, another car saved from total death. The best compliment I can give is that "I would buy that car". No price would bother me.

    When you said it was a restromod, I was hard pressed to see the modifications. You didn't go into a lot of detail on what was modified, but other than the added sparkle in the paint, I am thinking maybe up dated guages and radio. The car looks fantastic! If I were wealthy enough to have a collection, I would like three Studebakers in my collection, a late 50s or early 60s Hawk, Lark, and a 63 Avanti. Great video, Lou!

    Oh big bro Lou!! POW! And my floppy DC sneakers are yanked off my tube socked stocking feet by St. Gabriel himself here in snowy Brooklyn and hurled down that gorgeous desert AZ street, where you jump up and catch them both!!-100% Joe Montana style!! With that big bro Lou grin😄!! Hold onto my boys and send them back to me soon, will ya big bro🤣? Everything is this review is just beautiful, Lou. That Studebaker in Aztec Gold set against that magical flora and fauna and Arizona Spanish style homes there just took my breath away, man. Eve is in a perfect place to show off her "fins" and with perfect folks who love and care for her as they do. Ya know, I heard my Dad (who passed away 17 years ago) had a Studebaker coupe (maybe one of these?!) when he was a handsome young Irishman, a couple of years before he met my Mom, an Italian cupcake from the Bronx. Then they had me and my sisters and brothers, before lil' tube sock wearin' JV baseball jock JV Johnny as the baby boy😜. Seeing this review made me think of them. My God, I do miss them. Thanks for the trip, big bro. JV Johnny ⚾⚾

    Beautiful car, and as I'm fond of saying, "It's tough to outcool a finned Hawk". I'm curious about what modifications were made. The lady mentioned sparkle in the paint, I noticed wheels, tires, AC, an alternator, and the windshield wiper motor was missing. (likely reworked wiper mechanism). How about the brakes and transmission?

    I learned to drive in one of these. White so the fins must have been gold. My mother's boyfriend sold automobiles had drove a golden hawk. The swirled dash had a plaque that had a production number and name of the man in Texas it was mad for. It had a Packard engine as I recall.
