Those 53 - 59 Studebakers were the best looking cars of the 50’s.

What a very comprehensive, informative, accurate video. No filler pictures that have nothing to do with the narration that you see in other less than accurate videos.<br>Also, what a pleasure not having to listen to an AI generated, scripted narration. You could tell this was an actual human being speaking. No mispronunciations, no emphasis on wrong syllables, or skips in the tempo of speaking. So nice to listen to.<br>Good work overall.

Unique looks and innovative technology, couldn’t compete with such high production numbers. Love the Studebakers.

Always a sucker for some good Studebaker videos. Always amazed at how futuristic Studebaker design was in the 50's compared to the big 3 still building big boxes

I had a 1954 Studebakerr Commander hard top 8 cylinder and a 1964 Grand Turismo Hawk. Coolest cars ever made.

Studebaker even through all its money issues managed to produce a couple of the most beautiful and cutting edge cars in history: the Hawk and the Avanti.

I love the Hawks. Regardless of the branding.

When I was a kid in suburban Detroit a guy down the street from me had a black Gran Turisimo that was just fantastic.

Had a 61 Hawk, with Borg-Warner T-10 4sp, 289 bored to 306 and a John Erb upgraded Paxton. What a ride. Had to sell it when I started a family. Some day...
