The Sky Hawk was made only for that year based on the brand’s 1953 vehicle, the last completely new one it built.
It will be 60 years on Dec. 31 since the once-great Studebaker Corp. closed down its plant in South Bend, Indiana and laid off thousands, including a young man who would later become a classic car columnist for the East Bay Times.
Studebaker, a company that lasted 114 years, was once the world’s largest wagon and carriage manufacturer. President Lincoln’s last ride on April 15, 1865, to Ford’s Theatre was in a Studebaker carriage. Some have said that Studebaker was a company that was ahead of its time — after all, they did manufacture electric cars in 1902.
Those weren’t the last of beautiful cars produced by Studebaker, though. Raymond Loewy, supervising Robert Bourke, designed the 1953 Studebaker, a car that has been listed as one of the world’s most beautiful. “Mechanically it was pretty much done,” the owner said. “My cousin passed after that; he wasn’t very healthy at that point. He just wanted someone in the family to have the car and have it taken care of. He had worked at Harrah’s Auto Museum restoring cars. He put the drive train in, he changed the steering and suspension systems.”
