THIS RARE 1961 Studebaker Hawk is owned by News photographer Ellsworth
Dickson, pictured above with the car he found in storage in a garage in loco. Although it
had been restored some years ago, both the car’s steering and its entire front suspension
were in a very sad State. A lot of work, and pieces from a couple of parts cars, helped
# make the Hawk road worthy. This model is one of only 223 that were built in Hamilton,
Ontario in 1961, the last year of the finned Hawks. It has a 210 HP 289 cu. in. V8, fac-
tory dual exhau:its and a Twin Traction rear end. The interior is in near perfect shape
with black naugahyde buckets and some neat Stude features such as heaters under the
front seats and an aircraft style dash with a full set of guages, including tachometer and
a clock that still ticks after 24 years. Although virtually stock, there have been a few
minor changes to the car, such as wire wheels, oversize tires and custom air shocks in the
rear to improve cornering. Based on the 1953 Loewy coupe, the Hawks were powerful,
road-holding cars that were ahead of their time in the sporty car field. They are good fun
cars for the collector, with a projected increase in value of 35 per cent in ive years.
