1962 HUMBER HAWK SERIES 2

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000.

Chassis number B5105354ODHSO - this Series II Overdrive is presented some recent history dating from 1983. The file contains a used car invoice from "J.RUTHERFORD (EARLSTON) LTD" in Berwickshire dated October 8th 1985 with the mileage recorded at 41,755 miles, detailing the purchaser, an English Politician and Etonian residing at what is considered to be one of the finest examples of Scottish Baronial mansions in the country. This gentleman shows on a V5 copy as being the second owner after 1983. There is MOT history dating from June1985 with a recorded mileage of 40,776 miles along with a current and advisory free MOT certificate at 50,016 miles expiring July 2020. We also have a selection of expired Tax Disks, recent invoices and a chronological manuscript log of work completed by the vendor and current owner who has remained the registered keeper for over 9 years and drove the car some 50 miles to Auction. There is also a couple of press articles which feature the car. History then shows the car being listed by a Southern Auction House during November 2004 with a photograph of it in what appears to be a stable and stating "offered for restoration" and gaining its next registered keeper during May 2005, who having spoken with ourselves states the car was incredibly solid and apart from a full professional re-spray due to faded paintwork and some re-chroming required very little in re-commissioning and remained in this name until 2010 when our vendor took over ownership. The car has at present no early history other than its original Dundee issued registration number which would have been issued between February and September 1962 and possibly being supplied by "STOUT BROTHERS of ABERNYTE" the local Rootes Dealership. DVLA have the date of registration as June 1st 1983 and the Chassis Number as B51535400HS0 and not as per the car which reads B 510 5354 OD HSO which decodes correctly as "510" a Series II example bearing serial number "5354" "OD" denoting Overdrive and "H" Home "S" Saloon and "O" Ordinary Specification. Thanks to Steve Lewis of the PVHCC for his assistance with this listing. The car is offered with Super Snipe wheel trims as fitted and a selection of spares which are available for viewing with the car.

Never offered for sale previously in the UK, this stunning 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk, has been the subject of a 5 ½ year ground-up, body-off restoration which was completed in 2012.  The Golden Hawk was a one-year-only model that featured the big-block, Packard 352” engine, producing 275bhp

After the merger of two long-established automotive companies in 1955, the Studebaker-Packard Corporation looked to design their own “Finned” car with the development of the 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk. Raymond Lowey and his design studio were commissioned by Studebaker to design a more “European” style car. Earlier, in 1953, Studebaker had launched the Starliner Coupe, recognised as "one of the most beautiful cars ever made", and beautiful they may have been, but powerful, they were not. In 1956, the top-of-the-range, Golden Hawk, a direct evolution of the ’53 model was launched and it addressed the issue of under-power with the fitment of the Packard 352” engine resulting in the Golden Hawk inheriting the mantle of ' America’s fastest family car'.

Details regarding the engine rebuild;

Jack Vines is a renowned builder of Packard engines in the USA. Within Packard and Studebaker circles, Jack is the ‘go-to’ specialist for rebuilding these robust engines. The engine block has been bored and honed .030" and fitted with new corresponding .030" Egge pistons. The heads were resurfaced. The crank was reground and new .010" main and rod bearing caps fitted. A fully rebuilt oil pump, new timing chain and gaskets have all been replaced. The specification build sheet should be inspected to fully appreciate the extent of the engine’s rebuild. The starter, generator, carburettor and fuel pump have all been rebuilt.

From our vendor:

"Following the car’s extensive restoration in the UK, the scale and scope which included over 1,100 hours of labour, alone.  The separated body tub, front and rear wings plus chassis were all sent for media-blasting, red oxide painting and stove enamelling.

Inner and outer sills plus trunk floor-pans were sourced via renowned panel supplier, Classic Enterprises in the USA. Extensive fabrication work was undertaken on both sides of the interior’s floor pans. With the chassis painted, the body-work and associated parts were painted in ceramic green and snowcap white, which is period correct for this car.

With the chassis painted, new brake lines were fitted. New brake shoes were fitted all-round, brake master cylinder and a new handbrake cable were fitted to the chassis prior to the body being fitted back on to the chassis. The front and rear suspension were completely rebuilt with all new parts, included shock absorbers and heavy-duty front springs. The car benefits from a rebuilt power brake system including power steering servo. 

The original radiator was re-cored in the new UK. Accompanying the radiator, a replacement water pump and new belts with correctly tensions set.

The car is fitted with Packard’s correct Ultramatic 2-speed automatic transmission. New bands and seals were required to make the unit fully operational. The Ultramatic Torque Converter was been rebuilt in the UK by KSM Services. For added protection, the car has been fitted with a 4588-Tru-Cool LPD transmission cooling kit, ensuring the transmission remains at optimum running temperature.

Studebaker International, the world’s number one supplier of replacement, NOS and remanufactured parts have been a significant provider of replacement parts. From screws, nuts and bolts to some of the more noticeable shiny parts, like the remanufactured rear-light units and marque script adorning the car and so much more.

A complete Phantom Auto Works (Rene’ and Bonita Harger) interior – green & white with silver Mylar, black vinyl dash pad, headliner and retainers matched to Studebaker’s most often ordered exterior colour combination in 1956, ceramic green & arctic white, to create a dazzling mid-50’s automobile.

A Shrock Bros. remanufactured white steering wheel sets the tone for the interior and the engine-turned dash. A glorious fully restored valve radio is paired to twin rear-mounted aerials. Complete new wiring harnesses were fitted to the car and perform faultlessly. 

Front and rear bumpers, headlamp rims, front grills, running and backup lights are just a few of the examples of where new chrome has been sourced to create a visual piece of Americana art-on-wheels.

The 56J Only Register was formed in 1989, by Frank Ambrogio.  Frank continues to publish three 56J Only Newsletters per year as well as maintain the 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Owners Register website. The website and newsletters have become the global authoritative source for this icon car. 

Within the Studebaker world, Frank has become the world’s foremost knowledge source of these rare cars. Globally, there are circa 40 known cars of similar condition to the one presented here today. There are no known other examples on the road in the UK today. This is a unique piece of automotive history in this country that benefits from a recent MOT, October 2018."
