1964 Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk

Overview

This 1964 Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk represents the final and most refined evolution of the famed Hawk series—an automotive line shaped by legendary designer Raymond Loewy and celebrated for its blend of European elegance and American performance. Produced only through 1964, the GT Hawk stands today as one of Studebaker’s most collectible and distinctive grand touring cars.

Design & Heritage

The GT Hawk traces its lineage to the 1955 Studebaker Speedster, Loewy’s groundbreaking “family sports car” that launched the Hawk dynasty. By 1964, the model had matured into the Gran Turismo Hawk, featuring:

• A classically proportioned roofline
• A Mercedes‑Benz–inspired grille (Studebaker and Mercedes shared showrooms in the 1960s)
• Clean, European‑influenced styling that remains timeless

This final‑year GT Hawk is one of the most desirable configurations ever built.
