The 1963 Studebaker Hawk 6 GT is one of those rare American icons that bridges the gap between classic elegance and sporting flair. Studebaker, a brand that once began as a manufacturer of horse-drawn cars, evolved in the 1950s and 1960s into a major player in the American auto industry, known for its innovative designs and bold style choices. The Hawk series was launched in 1956 as an attempt to put the brand back on the map, with a focus on sportiness and sophistication. The GT Hawk, produced in the early 1960s, was the highlight of this line: a stylish Gran Turismo distinguished by its powerful performance and striking design.
This particular example of the Studebaker Hawk 6 GT has been registered in the Netherlands since 1998 and comes from a private collection. Exempt from road tax and MOT requirements, this Hawk offers the perfect opportunity for the true enthusiast to own a piece of American automotive history. Only 4,009 examples of this model were produced, making this car a special and rare collector's item.
The Studebaker Hawk 6 GT was characterized by its streamlined body and distinctive nose, with a long hood and distinctive fins at the rear a clear sign of the flamboyant design trends of the 1960s. The car features a powerful six-cylinder engine that provides enough power for a dynamic driving experience, while the leather interior offers luxury and comfort. The combination of wooden accents, elegant gauges and spacious seating made it clear that the GT Hawk was designed not only for speed, but also for long, comfortable drives.
Studebaker was treading a difficult path in the American car market at this time, and the Hawk 6 GT was an attempt to redefine the brand as a producer of sporty, luxury cars. Although the company faced financial challenges in subsequent years, the Hawk series remains a testament to the bold vision Studebaker had: to create a car that stood out from the crowd, both in style and performance.
To get a good idea of the car, we recommend coming to one of the viewing days.
