Topic: Identify the hooptie in the background

Ever post pictures of something for sale only to have people ask to buy something else in the background?

While looking through van parts on Craigslist, I found this little gem, and was immediately curious what that is in the background.

Re: Identify the hooptie in the background

It appears to be a Studebaker Hawk. I can't tell if it's the earlier Silver Hawk or the later GT Hawk. Also in the photo appears to be a early 70's Cadillac and a late 40's Hudson.

Fourteen time loser. You'd think I'd know better by now.

It's a Golden Hawk or Silver Hawk, not a GT Hawk. I can see the Loewy roofline looking through the greenhouse- it doesn't have the Thunderbird style roof of a GT.

Re: Identify the hooptie in the background

Those things seem to hold some value based on Craigslist.  Looks like they had a decent amount of power.
