The Golden hawk in pune is for sale a very high price for which it is not worth.The owner wants something close to 80-90lacs for that car.That car is very well kept i must say.But the front windshield of that car is cracked.You can always import one but you know there are high chances of damage.If you are still interested some members from pune could help you or otherwise a uncle of mine knows him so you could mayb go through him if you like. | |

I had posted a photo of your Studebaker and Chev on posting #88. I am posting on your behalf these great photos of your 53 Studebaker that I consider one of the finest looking American Classics. What car show did you attend and was it judged? | |

Amol this is a 1953 car because the car you are talking about is a 1955 car which if you remember you had posted a picture of a 1955 studebaker president that car was a speedster.The speedster was the first step towards the sporty car, and the forerunner to the memorable Hawks The most expensive offering in this year's revived top-line President series, this two-door hardtop featured a special interior with quilted-pattern leather and vinyl upholstery and a full complement of white-on-black instruments set into a dash with a tooled-metal appliqué.A high-performance rendition of the Studebaker small-block V-8, now bored out to 259.2 cid, was standard on the 1955 Studebaker President Speedster. The midyear Speedsters shared the heavy, more chrome-laden "fish-lip" front-end styling adopted for '55 across the line.The 1955 Studebaker speedster and the 1956 Golden Hawk had a similar body sturucture with minor differences in the body like the bonnet and grill but the trunk(boot) shape is different.Apart from this the golden hawk came with more trims on it and had the Big 352 cu.in engine.Have attached some pictures below. The car shown above is i think a Champion Regal(or regal delux) or a Commander regal(regal delux).I am attaching a 1953 body style identification sheet below which may help us to furthur identify this car. | |

Hi Suren A very nice catch indeed.Well i don't think this is a commander.This car looks more like a 1948 Land cruiser.See the doors,the lights and the front end.I am attaching some pictures below of the Land Cruiser.One more thing and that is this car is a sedan(4door) and the commander and the champion both of this time were coupes(2 door).If you remember one more thing and that is when you look at the car infront on the right side next to the Studebaker badge did you see land cruiser written or commander?
