Studebaker and Nash Cars in India

[IndrojitSircar]

Well the trims are the problem.I have found brand new pistons and rings which i'm going to buy.I have a set of new valves for this car.The break drum is also required.Yes i agree i need to go their and get every thing out and then make a list with the catalog.I will surely keep everyone post and take pictures as well.hankx for the help and support provided its really appriciated.

Now we know about Indian Hawks:
Golden Hawk Calcutta
Golden Hawk Pune
Red Hawk ( its colour, not name) in Mumbai.
Indrojit has to surf the net and scan in Hemmings to find trims. For my 1954 Packard it took me one and a half years to get a grill.
Never ever give up.

Great. There are many who still will not have a great view about this forum of anywhere else where they are corrected. Most people i know like that got their con caught or didnt like it that there are certain ...no make that many members on this forum who know more than they do. You know what i mean. But im sure there are also a few that may have got the wrong impression, its all about staying long enough to find out.

The support provided by all changed my view about this forum and am sure it will of others as well after seing each and ever discussion taken place.

Im glad. This is a fun place to stay. Every day i learn more here, trust me.

Yes that is a good idea.But at the same time if anybody comes across any trims or the parts listed above please do let me know i will be more than happy to pick them up.In the profession of restoration we can never giove up because we are looking out for a perfect job so we keep on trying until we get the best out things.

Well i would say its not about correcting them its the way we correct them.One thing we need to understand is that every person on this forum has a passion for cars weather vintage/classic or latest.We should try to think of a way in which we could conway the message without hurting the feelings or being too rude or arrogent.Every person deserves respect and we shouldn't compromise that.

This is the only place perhaps you can share as much as you know and don't get looked down apon.We need to be open to criticism in a positive manner and not to be put down.

Good show, Indrojit. I think everyone is happy that we do have a '56 Stude Golden Hawk here after all. Hope you have the other id (VIN, etc.) plates on the car intact still. Would also help in getting the right parts besides registering your exact car with the model's chapter(s). Congratulations again.

Thank you prabal.I don't think the other ID (VIN,etc)are still on the car.We have started opening the engine in stages.We have opened the tapid heads, timing chain,tapids,manifolds etc.Now the next step is to open the pistons.Before we do that i want to get new pistons and piston rings for the engine which i have located and am planning to buy them by the end of this month.And after that we will re-bore the engine.

One from my archives, was offered to me a long time ago. Does anyone else know of other surviving presidents?

Well no offence but this thread i guess is for just the hawks i guess you should post it in the thread which is for lost and found vintage/classic.Well i don't mean to offend you though.

Any idea though is it a early 50's car ?

Amol, there are a few Stude Presidents around still, but I have seen more of them in the '56-57 body style. In this shape I've seen more Champions and Commanders, which of course far outnumber the Presi in all the models anyways. The '58 President I'd think would be really rare in these parts.

This is a 1955 model. Indrojit, hope you don't mind the non-Hawk post of mine too - thought I'd take the liberty since you've also asked a question about it!

No problem at all just thought that the posts don't get deleted by the mods or being moved to another thread.Never a problem for any vintage/classic car ever.Its not my thread sir its for sharing with others and learning about stuff.

Well Indrojit sorry if I may have intruded on your thread, but In my opinion some rare marques or even other marques do not merit opening new threads for different models within the marque, infact I am sure people with interest in Studebaker marque would rather see it here than elsewhere. There is just not enough matter within India on Hawks to have a thread exclusively dedicated to it.

Infact as a suggestion we should have a singular thread for the StudeBaker Marque as there are very less cars to merit individual threads, unless you intend to keep this as a thread about the restoration of your car.In which case if the moderators want they can take off the image and move it to a suitable location. "More Rust in Pieces" thread than "Lost and found"

Sir i do not own any thread here.There is no question of anyone intruding in anyones thread here.We are here to learn from each other,so anyone telling anyone about something or correcting anyone about someone is surely going to happen.Agreed with you that its not worth opening another thread in which case we should rename the thread to Studebakers in India and not specificly to Hawks.As far as me keeping this thread for the restoration of my car,I will upload it here or on any other thread which is suitable.Sir since the name of the thread says STUDEBAKER HAWKS IN INDIA that is why i said that mayb since the location of the car is not known we could just put it in "lost and found".


I had or have no intensions to put anyone down.This is a forum for all of us to learn something from each other than to fight over small issues like this.I hope i didn't offend you,it was just a suggestion thats it.

No offence taken my friend just a suggestion that maybe you should start a thread which is focused on the restoration of your hawk (Since your the only person on the forum who owns a hawk), that way we can all learn from your restoration techniques and approaches. At the same time you can post period manuals, literature related to the hawk etc. The other hawk thread we can just convert to a general Studebaker thread maybe?..I wonder if the moderators are listening.

Well no problem even if its a studebaker thread i can still post the restoration over here it really doesn't matter.Well i am looking for parts for the car before starting all the major restoration work.Yes i shall try and post stuff related to the car over here.Well Wasif has helped me a lot for looking for the parts and i have found some of them though but they are at sky high prices for second hand parts.Since we are both Studebaker lovers why don't we start a new thread dedicated to only Studebaker what say?

[harit]

Why not make this a Studebaker thread to include Erskine's?
Could be renamed something like 'Studebakers in India, from Golden Hawk to.....
BTW, which is the oldest 'Study' in India? I have a 1918 tourer, Solanki has one of around 1912 or so. That car came with a BOM registration!!
And there are many Study's in India. As there are only 3 to 4 Hawks in India, this thread may fade into the background.
Please give some thought.
