mfg Posted August 12 Report Posted August 12 The Gran Turismo Hawks Studebaker sent to Bonneville in the fall of 1963 were two- toned to foreshadow the upcoming vinyl roof option on this model….True?

Nelson Posted Saturday at 02:45 AM Report Posted Saturday at 02:45 AM They probably would have lost the vinyl top at speed.

Yes, the vinyl possibly would have lifted…. However, the reason the Granatellis painted the forward section of the GT Hawks roof white (silver?) was to help DEFLECT THE SUN’S HEAT!
regnalbob Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago Factory production data from the Studebaker Museum indicate the two Bonneville Hawks were the only 1964 Hawks with the factory painted Sport Roof.
