Description

1959 Studebaker Silver Hawk(VIN 59V1520)Original 259 V-8. 195 horsepower.3 speed manual on the column.
Present owner for 3 1/2 years. This is an older restoration. When we bought it we updated the following:
  • updated wiring
  • replaced gasket on the top of the engine
  • updated braking
  • added under the dash A/C ( blows cold and is 134A, under dash)
  • added new hoses
  • added shocks
  • when the mechanic had the top part of the engine off he said that the pistons, rings, valves looked good.
Problems with the car.
  • a leak apparently from the real main seal.
  • several imperfections in the paint and interior
  • tires are in great shape but their are older
Owner drives the car nearly every week without problems.This is a solid number 3 car that looks great at 10 feet.Chips here and there. The upholstery is not original but looks okay. Dash has cracks. No visible rust. I did a walk around video. Check link below.
