1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk Custom aka “Eve” in Gold & Ride on My Car Story with Lou Costabile

[@loucostabile]

Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou

[@rondye9398]

Thank you for preserving this beauty! I own another '57 Golden Hawk that is metallic blue, white fins, 3sp. OD. Also a restomod from the early 1960's. Chrome under the hood, Polished etc. Bucket seats from a GT Hawk, Ansen floor shifter. Slow process of resto. Original owner passed.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Ron, Happy to read you one a 57 Golden Hawk too :-) NICE! Lou

[@zachwheeler9846]

Usually, I don't care for restomods but this one is very well done. The car overall looks original, in fact, I didn't know it was a restomod until you pointed out. Love the gold color and the wire wheels, its a real looker! Great video Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Zach, You're right, this looks like it came from the Factory until you open the doors and look under the hood. Happy to share this "real looker!" with you :-) Lou

[@acatal2464]

1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk is one of a very beautiful looking car ever built!

[@loucostabile]

High praise.

[@lmailloux4343]

The more you approach the car the more you appreciated it. Paint and wheels are flawless!!

[@loucostabile]

I agree.

[@scottmassey4330]

A really complex car from back in the day. Thanks for finding folks who preserve this history.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Scott, Happy to share this car with you. You're welcome, Lou

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Studebaker made some very fine cars.. I need to go through their Museum again .

[@loucostabile]

Hi Mike, Happy to read this video reminds you to stop by the Museum again :-) Lou

[@larryborkstrom3580]

They are rarely seen today they did get it going again and mods made very tastefully done

[@loucostabile]

Hi Larry, Happy to read you appreciate the rarity of seeing one of these cars today, Lou

[@Steven-p4j]

I have always found these Studebakers' to be stunners. It appears to be a throwback, in one way, to the vehicles from the 40s era, where the radiator was very prominent, and the headlights were mounted on separate fenders.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Steven, Happy to share this "stunner" with you :-) Lou

[@JeffKing310]

What a great car! Wonderful presence and the wheels are wild. The engine and engine bay are spectacular. Great restoration. It’s a shame Studebaker didn’t last longer. Thanks Lou and Cindy for letting us see this icon.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Jeff, Happy to share this "icon" with you :-) High praise on this restoration. You're welcome, Lou

[@albertcarello619]

@JeffKing310: It's too bad that STUDEBAKER and AMERICAN MOTORS CORPORATION and PACKARD didn't merge into one major company. Perhaps it would have been much more profitable.

[@rhondahall5642]

Wow!!! So Grateful that people have the vision and passion to preserve these beautiful machines. Thank you for sharing!

:-)

[@Steven-p4j]

A mighty fine resto-mod, with the looks to allow it to stand apart, yet the modernity to give it some ease of use. Well done.👏👏👏

[@loucostabile]

:-)

[@JaimeSalcedoA_72]

This 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk with that Aztec Gold looks wonderful! I liked the combination of white in the beautiful rear wings, the large front grille with that shield logo, and under the headlights those stylized air intakes fitted to finish with the large and elegant chrome bumper (special mention for the beautiful wheels, with chrome spoke rings and white strips). The engine bay with that big Supercharged V8 looks superb too. When you open the door, all the beauty and elegance of the interior unfolds before your eyes; from the steering wheel adorned by that large chrome partition, to the beautiful upholstered seats next to the instrument panel. The scale model of the trunk was fantastic, and looks like an almost exact copy, down to the colours, of the full-size one (of course, not forgetting that original "supercharger" brochure that was still in the glove compartment). The walk at the end was very pleasant, as always. Congratulations to Cindy, on her stylish automotive Eva! And to think that it all started with a nice scale model, haha. Great catch, with this vehicle, Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Jaime, Lot's to like with this car! Happy to share this "stylish" car with you :-) Lou

[@konradbenz7110]

❤ a childhoods dream ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@loucostabile]

NICE!

[@fob1xxl]

This car was always a favorite of mine growing up. I was 12 in 1957, and it seemed to be so far ahead of its time. I always loved the daring design. Everyone always mentions the '57 Chevy and '57 Chrysler cars, but this car had fins that were dominant ! The font end had more of a European design, which the public wasn't really ready for yet. Great looking car ! Thanks for the video. 👍

[@loucostabile]

Hi fob1xxl, Happy to read this car was always a favorite of yours :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou

[@godsowndrunk1118]

When I heard resto mod, I was afraid we were going to find a LS under the hood..... I was greatly surprised it has the correct engine. And what an engine.... those VS (Variable Speed) superchargers are really cool. The Hawk's are another of those cars I didn't like the looks of in the 60's. But it has grown on me over the years as newer cars have become more and more soulless... Great car, Lou.

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read you enjoy this "Great car" Gods own Drunk :-)

[@misterenergy959]

Beautiful car….hard to top that one!

[@loucostabile]

High praise.

[@bigmountain7561]

Awesome Car, how many records did the Hawks make at Bonneville?? Even Gale Banks when he was a young man had a Hawk that he would run on the Salt. Cindy and Peter you have a beautiful resto mod. Keeping the authenticity of the car but cleaning up all the imperfections. Thank You All Great Video Lou!!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Big Mountain, Happy to read "Awesome Car" :-) Hmmm, not sure about the records. Hoping a Viewer with knowledge can share. You're welcome, Lou

[@drakbar5957]

After the Packard engine plant shut down, Studebaker strapped a supercharger on their 289 and the Golden Hawk became a muscle car in ‘57. Dealers clamored for bucket seats and a four on the floor, but that didn’t happen until 1961. This Hawk is painted in the color combination that everyone wants - gold body and white fins. On a scale of 1-10, this Stude beauty is a 20!

[@loucostabile]

"On a scale of 1-10, this Stude beauty is a 20!" High praise.

[@williambarry8015]

Geez what an impressive restoration. Seems like it would be an almost impossible task to get all the shiny trim and all the little knobs and emblems and all that stuff to look that perfect!?

[@loucostabile]

High praise for this restoration.

[@andrewromano-fw5vp]

PERFECTION. ....YOU SAY ??? ABSOLUTELY 💯

[@loucostabile]

High praise.

[@WilliamParmley]

If this isn't the most beautifully perfect car you've ever featured, it certainly must be really close to the top of the list! Definitely deserves ALL the awards! How lucky you were to see this one and ride in it.

[@loucostabile]

High praise William!

Cindy's right, this Hawk sure car purr! I love how the resto turned out, and the paint looks just fantastic, too. Thanks, Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read "I love how the resto turned out, and the paint looks just fantastic, too" :-) You're welcome TheGunfighter45acp!

[@sparky6086]

One of my favorite cars of all time! I imagine, that the dry climate out West helped keep it from rusting away to ths point of no return. I remember seeing a couple of these in the late 1980's in a farm field in Georgia. They weren't marked as for sale & hadn't been moved in years judging from the plant growth around them. I often drove past them in the course of my work. Unfortunate for them in the Deep South (Southeast US), it's too humid & rust had just about gotten the best of them. Sour grapes, but I was too busy in those days, to even think about inquiring about them & taking them on as a project.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Sparky, We have a WINNER for you today :-) Happy to read this brings back memories of the ones you saw in Georgia, Lou

[@islanddon865]

My dad had a Supercharged '57 Packard Clipper. A 4 door with a surprisingly similar design. It was his favorite car.

[@classicmusclecarexhaust1988]

I've always vacillated between 'wouldn't be caught dead in one' and 'I gotta get one of those' when it comes to those Golden Hawks. What a beautiful example of a restomod done 100% right! I would drive that Stude all day every day! Cool car Lou!!

Nothing else looked like this in '57, that's for sure. Just beautiful...especially with those wheels. Engine was so clean and sounded fantastic. Not sure which I like best..front or rear! Love the brushed aluminum dash too. I never really knew how elegant these cars really are. It's beautiful.

[@loucostabile]

"It's beautiful" NICE!

A BEAUTIFUL car!!! I don't know much about Studebakers but I like this one. It's only lightly modified which I like also. She said that they pulled it from a junkyard I believe. That's great, another car saved from total death. The best compliment I can give is that "I would buy that car". No price would bother me.

[@Irishfan]

When you said it was a restromod, I was hard pressed to see the modifications. You didn't go into a lot of detail on what was modified, but other than the added sparkle in the paint, I am thinking maybe up dated guages and radio. The car looks fantastic! If I were wealthy enough to have a collection, I would like three Studebakers in my collection, a late 50s or early 60s Hawk, Lark, and a 63 Avanti. Great video, Lou!

Beautiful car, and as I'm fond of saying, "It's tough to outcool a finned Hawk". I'm curious about what modifications were made. The lady mentioned sparkle in the paint, I noticed wheels, tires, AC, an alternator, and the windshield wiper motor was missing. (likely reworked wiper mechanism). How about the brakes and transmission?

With that big bro Lou grin😄!! Hold onto my boys and send them back to me soon, will ya big bro🤣? Everything is this review is just beautiful, Lou. That Studebaker in Aztec Gold set against that magical flora and fauna and Arizona Spanish style homes there just took my breath away, man. Eve is in a perfect place to show off her "fins" and with perfect folks who love and care for her as they do. Ya know, I heard my Dad (who passed away 17 years ago) had a Studebaker coupe (maybe one of these?!) when he was a handsome young Irishman, a couple of years before he met my Mom, an Italian cupcake from the Bronx. Then they had me and my sisters and brothers, before lil' tube sock wearin' JV baseball jock JV Johnny as the baby boy😜. Seeing this review made me think of them. My God, I do miss them.
