The Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk was considered in period to be a new sports classic. It was considered a rarity among distinguished vehicles of the world; from its impressive expanse of hood through all of the hand-crafted details, the Gran Turismo Hawk was the luxurious embodiment of roadability and driving ease. It was considered as a boldly dramatic automobile designed in a meticulous tradition of the great European road cars of the era. Generous roominess, special comforts and mechanical conveniences were on display for the attention of the American motorist.

This red and black two-tone car has a black and white interior and is driven by a 289-cid V-8 engine with a Flightomatic automatic transmission. The car is reported to have a Twin Traction rear end, power steering, dual exhaust, AM radio and is said to “run like new.”
