Family Owned ’57 Studebaker Golden Hawk
As Told by Kirk Dobson
Here is a picture of my car. The Golden Hawks were made from 1956 to 1958. The 1957-58 models came with supercharged V8 engines that were considered high performance at the time.
Studebaker made 4356 Golden Hawks in 1957.
I got the car when I was a Junior at Miramonte. My grandfather was a Studebaker dealer in Oakland. He took delivery in 1956, My dad got it in 1959.
I became fascinated with the car at a young age and asked him to keep it for me. Dad gave me the keys on my 16th birthday in 1970.
