A Photo Shoot – Studebakers The GT Hawk!

As promised we are going to take closer look at the Golden Hawk Gran Turismo (GT).

I really like the Golden Hawk it has very cool lines.

I love the roof line and I live the molding on the pillar, just above the quarter panel.

I love the ‘muted’ fins…there but not huge…The tail lights are great looking as is the slope of the trunk lid.

Love the curve of the fender that are topped with Chrome,

The Gran Trisumo emblem it spectacular and I like the unique placement. Notice the Studebaker emblem on the mirror.

I love the way the fenders end in a single headlight.  The grill…well….I wouldn’t have done.  What I do like about the front end are the vents that end in signal lights.

I like indications of a hood scope and the taper for the hood.  I especially like the way the top fender molding has a slight curve and tapers at the end, above the headlight.  The vent  on the front fender is very cool old school!!!

Last but not least….I would not have those wheels on it…I’d rather have steel wheels and poverty hub cabs.

Your thoughts?

Thanks for reading.

    I agree with the wheels, they do look out of place. I have been looking at the grill and can’t see it very well in the picture so I’m stuck on that one. I really like the car though. Love the molding on the pillar, just above the quarter panel. Keep up the great work. 🙂

    Agree with you on the wheels; they look out of place on this car. I wonder if the urban legend about STP is true? Studebaker Tested Product is the origin of the STP name?

Let me hear from you!!! Drop a note!!
