October Car of the Month
Gordie & Annie Edwards' 1960 Studebaker Hawk
It has a 289 engine, built by Studebaker. It has been built with dual pipes, twin mirrors, and twin extensions. The car rolled over to 100,000 miles July 4, 2008. It appears to be original--at least as far as I can find out. I saw it listed in a magazine from Walla Walla, so I talked to the owner by phone and he told me he wanted $12,000.00 for it. I told him it was too high, and he told me he was going to sell it at a car show on the weekend. He said he would have no problems selling it. I called him the next week, he hadn’t sold it and was more than willing to deal. So we went to Walla Walla and ended up with the car after Annie did some fancy negotiating.
There is no power steering, power breaks, or power windows. After some history checking, we are the third owners. This wonderful car is back within 10 miles of where the original owners lived when they purchased it brand new.
