Old Cars Reader Wheels: 1957 Studebaker Silver Hawk

Steven Barker is the lucky recipient of his grandfather’s Silver Hawk. He also gets kudos for finally being the one to set the poor Studebaker free from its barn existence.

This is the story as told by Steven…

“My grandfather’s 1957 Studebaker Silver Hawk had been sitting in a barn for 32 years. It had interior damage from mice and needed bodywork. My late father got it back in shape with new interior and paint. Then he put it back in the barn for another 8 years. The Hawk seemed destined to spend its days in a barn, but I had hopes that someday it would be mine. In 1961 my mom inherited the Hawk from my grandpa.”
