Lot Shots Find of the Week: Studebaker Golden Hawk

A parking lot is a parking lot is a parking lot—unless it’s the Summit Racing parking lot. On any given day or time, the lot outside a Summit Racing store can turn into an impromptu mini car show, depending on who’s stopped by the store. Each Wednesday, we’ll share our parking lot find of the week—another benefit of being Powered by Summit Racing Equipment.

This Studebaker is likely to garner almost as many opinions as double takes.

It certainly made us look twice—maybe even three times—before we could even venture a guess on the year. We’ve narrowed it down to a radically modified 1956 or ’57-ish Golden Hawk. As if simply being a hawk with fins isn’t different enough, this particular Golden Hawk flies in the face of everything conventional with its custom truck bed and atomic green paint.

We give it points for creativity—how about you?
