I went to San Antonio today and looked at this Packard Hawk while there. eBay 260019970803 Allen  SignatureAllen French > I went to San Antonio today and looked at this Packard Hawk while there. > eBay 260019970803 > Allen What was your impression of it? >> I went to San Antonio today and looked at this Packard Hawk while there. >> eBay 260019970803 >> Allen > >What was your impression of it? I can be a driver without a lot of work. All stainless is good. Chrome good also. No rust on frame. Wrong supercharger (Paxton) Interor good. Exterior sheet metal nearly rust free. Floorboards need attention. Trunk has some rust, but not bad. Very few left in this good of condition. Allen SignatureAllen French That car belongs to Jim Norton, jr. He is a good individual to deal with. I really hate to see him selling his car, but like me, he has not been able to do anything with it in years.. -- Barry'd in Studes 58 Packard Hawk 40 President 39 Coupe Exp. 59 DeLuxe 1/2 tn. 56 Packard "400" > >> I went to San Antonio today and looked at this Packard Hawk while there. > >> eBay 260019970803 [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Message posted via CarKB.com > http://www.carkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/studebaker/200608/1 Barry, Is this a number 4 car or a number 3 car?

How could the SP people have greenlighted that thing? From the so bizarre it's great category. >I went to San Antonio today and looked at this Packard Hawk while there. > eBay 260019970803 > Allen I have 243 surviving Packard Hawks accounted for. Someone must have liked them as that is a very high survival rate, probably higher than any other hawk. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I like them. The story of how Hurley brought the Packard Hawk into existence is an interesting footnote to S/P history.

Find another 51,and you'll have exactly half of what was produced... GM has made its fair share of questionable looking cars. Two that come to mind are the '74-76 Buick Riviera (the back end), and the Aztek. Craig. They do seem to keep popping up. I would not be surprised to find that half have survived. Given the offerings from GM and others back in 1958, Buick, Olds, they fit right in. Of course the Edsel and the Fords of that era were not so beautiful by today's standards. But at least they had individuality. From what I know of it, Norton's car is as advertised. I was surprised to see he still has the car as I believe it was offered for sale through a Barrett-Jackson auction back a few years ago.
