i had a 62 gran turismo hawk with the 374ci packard engine when i lived in florida. hindsight being what it is, if i had to choose 1 car out of all the vehicles i've had since 1984 when i got my first car, the stude is the one i wish i'd kept.
Of all God's creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.

          I hear THAT Jeff! ;) I don't think I'd turn down ANY of the Studebaker Hawks, if given a chance at one. Awesome cars, in MY book! But, I'd also go for an Avanti (the original, not a Chevy powered Avanti II) or a Lark Daytona (the Avanti Powered one with the Paxton Super charger! 8)

        Check this out, for All of the Hawks, I couldn't post it so it be seen, so you'll have to check the link:

I think he means more like:

Always remove the accelerator pump diaphragm before carb cleaning. Carb cleaner and the rubber diaphragm don't really get along all that well....don't ask me how I know  ::)

Dennis has it!  my favorite was back in the greenspun days when someone (I think it was a 350F owner) turned their oil filter bolt hard enough to drop the bike onto it's right side. He recommended that we all have someone seated on the bike when breaking the filter bolt loose (at least for the first time)
