The Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk (or GT Hawk), a sporty coupe-type car sold between 1962 and 1964, was the final development of the Studebaker company's Hawk series that began with the Golden Hawk of 1956.
That these fears were well-founded was proven in 1964 when Studebaker closed their South Bend, Indiana plant, killing off most models including the GT Hawk, and moved all production to Canada, where manufacture of the Lark lasted only two more years with Chevrolet engines.
Studebaker considered the GT Hawk very much a European-style GT, and accordingly the car was sold in Europe and elsewhere, though not in great numbers.

The Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk (or GT Hawk), a sporty coupe sold between 1962 and 1964, was the final development of the Studebaker Hawk series that began with the Golden Hawk of 1956.
Despite the European influence, the Gran Turismo Hawk drew on American influences, too; the roofline was heavily inspired by the Ford Thunderbird, with thick C-pillars.
When Studebaker closed their South Bend, Indiana plant in December 1963, the GT Hawk was among the models discontinued by the company, which consolidated all production in Canada, where manufacture of the Lark lasted only two more years with Chevrolet-based engines.

 CanadianDriver: Motoring Memories - Studebaker Hawks
Although Studebaker stopped building cars in 1966 (they were last produced in Hamilton, Ontario), the enterprise that grew from a wagon-building company formed in 1852 by Henry and Clement Studebaker in South Bend, Indiana, has turned out some exciting models over the years.
Many felt, however, that the Power Hawk with the Studebaker 4.2 litre (259 cu in.) V-8, or the Sky Hawk with the 4.7 litre (289 cu in.) V-8, although lacking the Golden Hawk's brute power, were better all-round choices.
