The Studebaker Golden Hawk (built in 1958) is one of the most fascinating and powerful American production vehicles of its time. As a 2-door sports coupé, it combines striking late 1950s design with exceptional technology and rarity value.
The “Golden Hawk” is powered by a 4.7-liter small-block V8 equipped with a McCulloch supercharger. This combination delivers 202 kW (275 hp) and made the Golden Hawk one of the fastest street-legal vehicles in the USA in 1958. Power is transmitted via the comfortable three-speed “Flight-O-Matic” automatic transmission.
The vehicle was restored in the USA and then imported. The current owner has owned the Studebaker since 2016. In the same year, the automatic transmission was professionally overhauled, and since then the car has only been driven approximately 300 km. The vehicle has a total mileage of 83,000 miles.
The Golden Hawk comes from a classic car collection, has been driven rarely and has always been well maintained. It is in very good overall condition, mostly with original equipment, with a Classic Data rating of 2+. It has H registration, which underlines its historical authenticity.
Conclusion
This 1958 Studebaker Golden Hawk is an exceptional classic with great historical and technical significance. The combination of a supercharged V8, striking styling, and well-maintained original condition makes it a sought-after collector’s vehicle.
Thanks to the transmission overhaul, low mileage since 2016, and excellent Classic Data rating, this Golden Hawk is suitable for both discerning collectors and enthusiasts of rare US performance vehicles from the 1950s.
An authentic, powerful, and extremely rare classic—a real highlight of any classic car collection.
