My first car when I was in high school was a '53 Studebaker Commander! Coral Red with a white top! All the "cool" dudes were driving Fords, Chevs, Mercs and an occasional Plymouth! Being someone that loathes being like everyone else I went with the Stude! I also liked the looks of the car. It may not have had the horsepower of some of the other cars of that era, but it would out corner just about anything. Had it 2-3 years until I blew up the engine! But I loved that car, and because of it my first new car a few years later was a '63 Studebaker GT Hawk! Had that car for 30 years, put over 240,000 miles on it! There were few that could outrun that Studebaker. It was capable of pegging the 160 MPH speedometer. Only did that once to see if it would, but didn't want to blow that engine up! One was enough!
Awesome Gentleman! With a very beautiful Studebaker! He is an inspiration for all of us aging "Car Folks". Thanks for a Great video... It is one of your best so far! Frank Parks in Summerville, Georgia.
Raymond Loey's design of this car was amazing. The dash alone was 10-15 years ahead of its time in styling and placement of accessories. God Bless this man; you can tell how much he loves that Studebaker. What a beautiful car!
That’s one fine perfect example of a Studebaker . There was a Silver Hawk and a Golden Hawk I think ? My Mother had a 56’ Power Hawk Automatic with a V8 motor . Mom had an accident and I tore the damaged front end sheet metal off and put a new radiator back in and had it all set up to put a new front end on at the old age of fourteen years old . As well put new tires and a fresh new battery. It was running again . Mom sold the car 🚗 with my blessings and she bought a brand spanking new car with the money . I think I had three cars before I ever had a drivers license : ). I also got the privilege of wrenching on some race cars while still in high school before joining the US Navy . I sure enjoyed you’re video . Thanks for the post Sam / Mr Space . That’s a beauty !
Wonderful, Samspace81 is my TH-cam channel and auto inspection business. Really appreciate you sharing those memories, things like that keep me producing these. - SAM
Phillip Ternullo our nextdoor neighbor had 1 each; golden hawk, silver hawk. 1 was a golden/brown color. the other was 2 tone white and yellow. both had 160 on their speedo’s, both factory suped with duals. both 2 seaters with small storage areas behind the seats. impecable condition like this car. i’m not sure what year models they were; late 50s maybe early 60s...
Good stuff guys. Appreciate ya'll commenting & following the Samspace81 classic car channel. Really enjoying the way this video took off, so is Dr. Thornton.
Can you imagine how far ahead of the time this car was ? For a mid fifties automobile the design is awesome . Always looked at it as a sports car myself.
Oustanding, catching up on comments. I don't see many Studebakers, really had a good time. Thanks for commenting! I always notice your comments, doogals99!
That man sounds so humble for owning such a perfect example of a American car culture! Also a very intelligent man!! Thanks for the video Sam!! Good work!!
Muchas gracias,tengo una Studebaker pick cap 1951,algún día posiblemente la pueda restaurar,un placer poder ver esas joyas en ese estado.abrazos y mucha suerte.
Thanks both of you gentlemen for sharing this outstanding example of a 1953 Studebaker Commander Starliner Coupe with us - and what a high point of US automotive engineering - and yes - ahead of its time! How I wish this company was still in business! They got squeezed-out by the Big 3 in more ways than can be detailed here. And companies like Studebaker, Packard, Cord and Kaiser were never the threat to the Big 3 that the Asian and European imports were - and still are! With that more solid A pillar, it had to be a safer car in a rollover than many of the other mid 50's to late 60's cars - with the much thinner A pillar. Amazing! The one wagon company which made the successful transition to automotive production!
i know mr. thornton personally. he use to live about 3 blocks from my dads home. he use to call me to come help work on his cars. i have worked on this car and his 1950 champ convertable, he is a very nice man, he use to have a 1963 black and gold interior president i believe it was, this man loves his studebakers, also trust me, that a/c blows cold , it uses R12, also there are so many grease points under that car it aint funny, even the rear leaf springs have greaseable bushings, i think he sold his 1950 champ, i still talk to him on the phone every now and then, i hope he will be around for a lot more years. thank you sir for being so respectful to him. means a lot to me
Thanks so much. I didn't go there with intentions of an interview. He started talking and I decided he needed to be recorded, very kind man and extremely knowledgeable. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I certainly did.
When I was young going high school . I bought a 53 Studebaker two-door hardtop three speed with overdrive . I bought it used it was one hell of a good car . Very stylish

Hey, stunning ride!. I love this car, the best 50's design ones. Superior styling over Earl's design job. Lower, wider, and very european look. Congratulations to the owner. Keep it rollin'!!!. Why didn' them last more years, wonders me....
Couldn't agree more! Thats cool you have a Rambler, what year? Really appreciate you watching the Samspace81 Channel, looks like we have cars in common
We had a red one. Some where around '58 or '59 (I was 3 it 4 years old) it was destroyed by someone running a stop sign. My mother had a few stitches from a cut on her forehead otherwise my sister and I were fine. We replaced it with a '56 Chevy. The Studebaker was better but the Chevy was okay. These were truly great automobiles.
Oh my God you’re killing me. Is this RW’s original car? It’s absolutely beautiful it’s the car I want to see, the car I wanna sit in and I would pay RW if he would let me drive it down the street. Just so I could go through all 3 gears on that column. I have got to see one of these cars again before I die.
When I was about 5 my dad bought a Golden Hawk. I thought it was the fastest car made. Supercharged 289 & a 4 speed with overdrive, speedo went up to 160 mph.
There is three version of studibacker cars in India in the early 50S The President The Commander and the studibaker champion All are very prestigious sedans at that time
That's certainly a Beautifully restored car, with some very nice, non original, upgrades. A very nice, and knowledgeable gentleman. Although he is slightly confused, about the actual number of main berrings?
@@samspace81 oh well , at least someone will become the custodian of these important cars. Guess Mr. Thornton had no one to leave them to . And he's wise enough to know that he's making the right , if regretful , decision. Thankyou Sam. Only another 50 to watch ! 😂
Line this car up next to a late 50s TBird or Vette, it's in their class but yet it's a roadster. It's a Sports Coupe, a super early 2+2 pony car... The Mustang seems derived from it too..
Well sir, we about witnessed a tragedy last Friday. A 1952 (?) Stude pickup was being transported along I-80 on a flatbed trailer, when a semi that was entering the highway just had to cut off the towing rig. The driver of the rig with the Stude had already anticipated this idiot's idea of YEILDING to traffic. The Stude was unhurt, and instant Karma hit the semi driver. He was pulled over by the Highway patrol unit that saw the reckless driving.. I hope that you are out cruising in sunny skies!
I noticed the owner said the engine had a 3-main crankshaft..?? Not to my knowledge. I'm almost dead certain that every year Studebaker V-8 had a 5- main crankshaft. Somebody from SDC should be able to verify this.
I would much rather have a new car than this old stuff. That way I can see what I'm driving coming and going. It's easier to hide our car in a parking lot. Then there's the $635.98 monthly payment for 84 months. Hell, when this fine Stude was built, you could have your new suburban area house paid for in 10 months at that rate. Ray Loewy did it right. There's a '54 Stude pickup around here still doing farm duties on nice days. It's real easy to spot in the Farm-Mahal Superstore parking lot. So is our 1956 Plymouth.
@@samspace81 No sir, you have that backwards. I thank you! I bet your Stude doesn't have the aluminum driveshaft problem that the new GM vehicles are having.... while the owner makes payments on his $101,000 Escalade!
