On "My Car Story" we're in the Suburbs of Phoenix AZ on 1-30-24.
We're looking at a 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk in Aztec Gold Paint. The car comes with the 289 CI V8 “Supercharged” engine and an automatic transmission.
The car's Owner is Cindy. Cindy’s had this car since 2008. Cindy shares her Husband bought her a die cast model and she wanted to find a real one. Well turns out in their search they found two 1957 Studebakers. She named one Adam & one Eve. Adam ended up giving his parts to Eve. This car took 4 ½ years to restore. The car is absolute perfection.
I originally met Cindy and The Arizona Concours d’Elegance, and if you’d like to find information on that, go to the website at arizonaconcours.com
ENJOY!

    This 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk with that Aztec Gold looks wonderful! I liked the combination of white in the beautiful rear wings, the large front grille with that shield logo, and under the headlights those stylized air intakes fitted to finish with the large and elegant chrome bumper (special mention for the beautiful wheels, with chrome spoke rings and white strips). The engine bay with that big Supercharged V8 looks superb too. When you open the door, all the beauty and elegance of the interior unfolds before your eyes; from the steering wheel adorned by that large chrome partition, to the beautiful upholstered seats next to the instrument panel. The scale model of the trunk was fantastic, and looks like an almost exact copy, down to the colours, of the full-size one (of course, not forgetting that original "supercharger" brochure that was still in the glove compartment). The walk at the end was very pleasant, as always. Congratulations to Cindy, on her stylish automotive Eva! And to think that it all started with a nice scale model, haha. Great catch, with this vehicle, Lou!

    This car was always a favorite of mine growing up. I was 12 in 1957, and it seemed to be so far ahead of its time. I always loved the daring design. Everyone always mentions the '57 Chevy and '57 Chrysler cars, but this car had fins that were dominant ! The font end had more of a European design, which the public wasn't really ready for yet. Great looking car ! Thanks for the video. 👍

    One of my favorite cars of all time! I imagine, that the dry climate out West helped keep it from rusting away to ths point of no return. I remember seeing a couple of these in the late 1980's in a farm field in Georgia. They weren't marked as for sale & hadn't been moved in years judging from the plant growth around them. I often drove past them in the course of my work. Unfortunate for them in the Deep South (Southeast US), it's too humid & rust had just about gotten the best of them. Sour grapes, but I was too busy in those days, to even think about inquiring about them & taking them on as a project.

    After the Packard engine plant shut down, Studebaker strapped a supercharger on their 289 and the Golden Hawk became a muscle car in ‘57. Dealers clamored for bucket seats and a four on the floor, but that didn’t happen until 1961. This Hawk is painted in the color combination that everyone wants - gold body and white fins. On a scale of 1-10, this Stude beauty is a 20!

That Studebaker in Aztec Gold set against that magical flora and fauna and Arizona Spanish style homes there just took my breath away, man. Eve is in a perfect place to show off her "fins" and with perfect folks who love and care for her as they do. Ya know, I heard my Dad (who passed away 17 years ago) had a Studebaker coupe (maybe one of these?!) when he was a handsome young Irishman, a couple of years before he met my Mom, an Italian cupcake from the Bronx. Then they had me and my sisters and brothers, before lil' tube sock wearin' JV baseball jock JV Johnny as the baby boy😜. Seeing this review made me think of them. My God, I do miss them. Thanks for the trip, big bro. JV Johnny ⚾⚾

    Awesome Car, how many records did the Hawks make at Bonneville?? Even Gale Banks when he was a young man had a Hawk that he would run on the Salt. Cindy and Peter you have a beautiful resto mod. Keeping the authenticity of the car but cleaning up all the imperfections. Thank You All Great Video Lou!!

    When I heard resto mod, I was afraid we were going to find a LS under the hood..... I was greatly surprised it has the correct engine. And what an engine.... those VS (Variable Speed) superchargers are really cool. The Hawk's are another of those cars I didn't like the looks of in the 60's. But it has grown on me over the years as newer cars have become more and more soulless... Great car, Lou.

    When you said it was a restromod, I was hard pressed to see the modifications. You didn't go into a lot of detail on what was modified, but other than the added sparkle in the paint, I am thinking maybe up dated guages and radio. The car looks fantastic! If I were wealthy enough to have a collection, I would like three Studebakers in my collection, a late 50s or early 60s Hawk, Lark, and a 63 Avanti. Great video, Lou!

    This car has deign elements by Virgil M. Exner Sr. (the original 1953 Studebaker body design under the oversight of Raymond Loewy) and Brooks Stevens, so it bears a resemblance to the beautiful 1956 DeSoto Fireflite Adventurer in terms of design, fabrics and colors.

    Beautiful car, and as I'm fond of saying, "It's tough to outcool a finned Hawk". I'm curious about what modifications were made. The lady mentioned sparkle in the paint, I noticed wheels, tires, AC, an alternator, and the windshield wiper motor was missing. (likely reworked wiper mechanism). How about the brakes and transmission?
