That car can certainly give serious complexes to any present day car.

What a stance and presence. Flight Hawk is Indeed a Great car.

Wow, a Golden Hawk in Pune !! Dying to see her in the flesh..
Those beautiful lines are the signature of industrial desgner Raymond Loewy, one of the most prolific designers of the 40s and 50s. Voted among the most influential Americans of his era, Loewy influenced a whole generation of designers, and continues to inspire more. I think, a later model, the Studebaker Avanti was also designed by Loewy.

For someone to entrust a prized car like this, the workshop should be of a high standard?

Loewy also gave us the updated Coke bottle, and one of the very famous trains, I forget which. He was a true legend.

The iconic coke bottle, of course ! Yes, Loewy designed not one but several streamlined locomotives, pioneering aerodynamics in designing trains.
He was a man truly ahead of his time.
