1959 Studebaker Silver Hawk

The Suave Silver Studebaker: 1959 Silver Hawk Turns Heads

While post-war America buzzed with tailfins and chrome, Studebaker aimed for a more subtle sophistication with the 1959 Silver Hawk. With sleek styling reminiscent of the Avanti, it appealed to those desiring European flair instead of bravado.

Under the hood lay a 303 cubic-inch V8, delivering smooth power through a proven 3-speed automatic. Rigid construction and 4-wheel independent suspension granted responsive handling, while wide-track design ensured sure-footed stability.

Clad in silver metallic paint accented by tu-tone pink and beige, the Silver Hawk cut a suave figure on the road. Inside, comfort was king – padded dash and seats invited extended tours in plush luxury. Elegant details like push-button radio delighted passengers coast to coast.

Rare today with under 4,000 produced, finding an original Silver Hawk is a treasure. Classic 1960s design from Studebaker’s golden years awaits rediscovery – its sleek good looks as alluring as during debut. A reminder that Americana is as diverse as its people, the Silver Hawk defined style on its own unforgettable terms.
