Im amazed how good it shifts and how well it drives. I like your life attitude sometimes you don't need fancy stuff to make things work. I would call this project a total success.
Gorgeous looking engine. The decals do the trick. A real tribute to the quality of manufacturing from both Packard and Studebaker. Packard powered the P51 Mustang and PT boats. Studebaker trucks carried the supplies to the troops in all theaters. Supposedly, the lend lease trucks created a generic term for a truck in Russia like jello and coke, the studebaker. Great finish too. "Pastor, I hear the thunder of the lord." "No, child, that's only Jonathan W. and his Studebaker."
Lots of people don’t understand how to do the mechanical specs and know exactly how they function. You’re right that there’s not many real mechanic’s left. Most are part changers. Thanks Jonathan!
That's the difference in repairman or replacers u noticed he said saline the brakes not replace how many even know how to do that in a dealership now much last have the equipment to do it things were repaired in the past waterpumps fuelpumps oilpumps carberators etc
Hi Jonathan! Well, that is just a treat... Even the old slushbox shifts really well! (The judges will hear about those "go faster" decals, though, haha!) See you out on the track, buddy! All the very best as always from me and Frankers and the fellas...
Boy that motor runs so nice:) Good points about getting the “mechanical” stuff right. I remember working at a parts store as a teen and going through the books to find rings to fit oddball engines. I also enjoyed rebuilding carbs, alternators and starters at the counter for folks who didn’t have enough cash for a new one.
I like what you’re trying to show people. You can get anything to be running and driving, don’t have to spend a ton of money. It is an awesome cruiser for cruise night !
Well , well ! It appears the old girl still has a dance or two in the old legs yet ! Wonderful to see her come alive again and hear the music of the old Packard V8 !
I just bought a 56 Packard patrician With the 374…. Used to be a show car.. won second at a show in 82 and was at the 86 centennial show in Houston…… Car has been off the road at least 20 years….. when I got it it had bent pushrods/missing pushrods… and rocker assembly was off… I spun it over by hand… put 3 new used pushrods in it rebuilt the carb and it ran…. Runs great. So far all the lights work Radio works Interior is sun damaged but it’s all there. The car is mechanically pretty good it cost me maybe $200 to get it drivable. All it really needs is a repaint and new carpet and seat fabric….. so far including the purchase of the car ($2500) I have maybe 2800 total into it…… got a perfectly good car as is Or a great candidate for a restoration…. It doesn’t take much money wise to get something to have fun with.
What a killer ride. Quite the transformation, I'd say. And you are so right, about the sport of mechanical apparatus appreciation. sorting out how things are, and were engineered before they came up with " Built in Obsolescence" Great show Buddy. Be well.
Love your philosophy of machinery building! Scott, Ashley and Miles and rest of the COLDWARMOTORS boys are shaking in their boots when they consider your Packard power. (They LOVE to have a NC car with as little rust as yours.) Your car actually stops too... Just love the work you do!
I like very much how you have went about bringing the old girl back. you remind me of my Dad when I was growing up. Not a fortune spent but great results. Thank you for what you do Sir. Kerry
Nice work............. keep having fun with these old cars. My brother had a Golden Hawk back in the late 50's.. That thing was a rocket ship. Nice to see it still has the beans to run 75 miles an hour.
Sounds excellent , Jonathan ! I'm glad that transmission still works good . That last little bit put great big smile on my face . Nice to see you ain't losing too much horse power through that slush bucket , she still spins those tires just fine . Lol . Another job , well done ! God bless , you & yours , & thank you , for the smiles .
A friend of mine dropped rocks into his dad's Studebaker's gas tank because he thought it would make it go faster (he was 5 or 6). This wasn't a classic, but a survivor still in service in India in the early 1970's. The rocks were discovered when the person they sold it to changed it over to a diesel engine. (They shared this story with me when I drove my antique over to his dad's house).
I would much rather rebuild a carburetor than mess with fuel injection. It's amazing how much the wheel cylinders and brake shoes look the same as what's on my Chevrolet truck. I imagine that a lot of those parts are interchangeable with Ford or Chevy parts. The drums might be more of a challenge to find. The engine sounds great, and it's good to see the Hawk running down the road again. It brings back memories. I had an uncle who used to collect Studebakers, and he had a few Hawks of different years in his collection.
Man, it's great to see and hear that old beast roaring down the road! Team Vicky doesn't stand a chance 🤣 team stick shift, though.. its gonna be a close call Great to watch regardless 👌
Well I'm smiling ear to ear with the ride along. I agree with you about why you did what you did. If you don't have much money to work with, you can still enjoy these cars especially because they are simple to work on. I think you beat the boys up North by a country mile on this challenge. They might have gotten their cars to run, but you got yours to fly. Thanks for your episodes on these cars and whatever else you put out. I have learned a lot that I use on my cars from you. I appreciate it greatly.
Great car. I truly enjoy the work you do. I am building a 63 Hawk on a budget. I enjoy the work and will have a nice car when I am done. It is fun to look at those $100,000 + cars but most of us can't pay the bill. Thank you for your videos they are an encouragement for we people out here in the real world. Thanks
He doesn't do restorations. Restorations are a rich man's game. I don't think I've seen him do one restoration on this channel. Many people have different definitions of restoration but what it really means is a but in the real world it is only original once, so a restoration means as close as you can possibly get to factory original. That means basically a Pebble Beach Concours level of restoration in my mind. He just repairs them, gets them back on the road running and driving and it's a project, perhaps a "restoration" for the next man. Why don't you buy it and restore it?
Great job! I remember everyone doing rebuilds 'in cars'. Nobody had an engine hoist at home, you rented one, or used a chain hoist. The average guy had a small work area, his driveway or a 1 car garage and you did it in car and it worked out just fine.
My first car was a 1956 Silver Hawk that I bought in 1963 for $90. It was a flathead 6 cylinder 2 barrel carburetor with a stick shift, 3 on the column. It passed Pa. State inspection needing only a license plate bulb. Oil bath air cleaner, heater under the seat. Vacuum tube radio that took a couple minutes to warm up before it came on. The seat belts were lap belts only. After a few hours of washing and waxing, the car looked like new, no rust. I’m almost 80 and have owned many cars , this one was one of my favorites and I wish I still owned it.
That Studebaker looks and sounds awesome, Jonathan, don't let any body try to tell you differently. Another project completed sucessfully. God Bless and stay safe.
Love it, Jonathan! Another successful rescue of an amazing classic Studebaker. Beautiful sounding engine and really, a nice looking car in spite of the age of the paint and surface rust. That's a very solid project for someone with patience and a few resources to take it on.
I remember that Studebaker came out with this style in 1953. I though that it was the most beautiful car that I had ever seen. It was even on the cover of Time magazine!! It is still beautiful!!! So nice that you got it running!!!!
Nice video Jonathan She is a runner! Not sure if I have ever commented before, but I have seen about every one of your videos over the years. Proud to be one of your subscribers who can't wait for the next video to come out. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you, I am doing an old fashioned ring job no machine shop ,no might as wells, just rings and a light hone for a cross hatch and reseal the valve guides. Old school. like the content
Jonathan, your spot on with just making it a driver. My dad spent 10yrs and around $45K building a 72 C-10 that he never got to drive because of cancer that eventually took him. In his will it was to be auctioned and the proceeds went to his college alda mater ...it brought $18K
Gotta love those old motors. I have no way of knowing but I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts the guys that built those engines back then are at least 10 times prouder than guys who build the awesome sewing machines they put in today’s cars and trucks. Thanks JW.
Exactly, That’s how the Hawke sounded, on our streets . Such a cool car .. love this video. You got so much more in the USA . You show these machines like no others . Great project Jonathan 😊🇨🇦😊🇨🇦
Let me first say that I really enjoy your work and learning from you. It is amazing that you can get these treasures on the road again. I hope that you can show more of the machine work and different parts being rebuilt/repaired. Some day I would like to come to meet you and shake your hand. Thank you sir for sharing your talents
Johnathan who cares about what others think or comment, YOUR CAR YOUR WAY, people who have SUGGESTIONS never worked on cars or have NO idea the cost involved,GREAT WORK KEEP DOING YOUR WAY.
Man, that Stude sounds great. You do good work and since most of the vehicles I've owned were a project, I appreciate your approach. This video must have the Cold War gang crying in their beers😂
I am glad you didn't street rod this car. I hope you don't sell it to someone who will ! This was a fine looking car when it was new . It's worth someone taking the time to restore it. You did such a fine job on the engine. Good luck to you !
Beautiful Jonathan, great job! I hope you'll show an episode when its prettied up a bit more & showing its Studebaker glory! Thanks for a great episode!
YES SIR, Making America Proud no doubt. Cold War Motors, possibly the best in the great white North and they have a significant advantage from the manual, but you got something to show them for sure!
She really sounds sweet, Jonathan... Runs and shifts as good as it ever did. You are right about about that transmission. It shifts well and is very sturdy for its day, but efficient it is not. It takes some horsepower to spin that old torque converter, and the transmission is sluggish when compared to the standard transmission. The ideal setup was the 3-speed standard with overdrive and a sure-grip rear gear. Of course it must have the hill-holder also. Studebaker may have been the one that introduced this function to the industry back in the early 1930s...
Jonathon, you fix up old cars like we did back in the day. Do what you have to to make it run. Nice job on the Golden Hawk! As for the in frame rebuild, that’s how it was done back then. Pulling the heads, re grinding valves, dropping the pan and putting in new rings and bearings wasn’t unusual. It’s what you did to fix up an old car. Today’s cars aren’t made for repairs like that. I’m with you about carburetors. No big deal. 99.9% of the problems are just dirt. Take it apart, clean everything and put it together. It should run just fine. Ultrasonic cleaners have made that a whole lot easier though. It’s great to see these old cars get another life. Sell them to some rich guy who likes to do paint and body work and he’ll have a treasure.
Grandfather had a silver hawk for a little while. It was quite impressive for me being about I don’t know 8 years old. I love to ride one again thanks for the video. Great stuff.
Channel like this are what youtube was originally all about. That V8 sounds like it has plenty of life in it but it doesnt seem to pull as hard as the sound it makes suggests it should.
Wow Jon, it moves right along! Sounds great! Well done getting it running and driving under it's own power! I love this sort of thing! All the best, Mart in England. Edit: Just a later thought. That's a proper factory hot rod. One of the first muscle cars. Great to watch and very interesting.
I must say you’ve got the old girl back on her feet again! Sounds good and goes good. Nice job on the car and on the video. The Junk Whisperer rides again! 🥸👍👀🔨🎂✅❗️
Jonathan, I stand in awe of what you have done to make this old bird fly once again.
4gc carburetors are very good, Trying to find good floats are another issue.
@@nicksnarski5973 those were copper fix um with solder...
Now you just have to drive it to Alberta for the V8 showdown ;)
Im amazed how good it shifts and how well it drives. I like your life attitude sometimes you don't need fancy stuff to make things work. I would call this project a total success.
Things were built to work and last back then not so they could repair them for the money like now quaity
Sweet ride! These Hawks are so dang unique, so original, and so beautiful! Really, there's nothing else like 'em.
Not only does this Hawk sound good, but the doors stay closed when cornering! Plus, the stickers make it quicker. Another great job, sir!
👍👌👏 😁😁😁 Yeah, a sticker makes it quicker! So do holes in brackets, steering wheels etc.p.p..
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Gorgeous looking engine. The decals do the trick. A real tribute to the quality of manufacturing from both Packard and Studebaker. Packard powered the P51 Mustang and PT boats.

Scott & Myles brought in a vintage Brake Drum Lathe.Things WILL be stopping much better now.
@@dddevildogg, we can hope... 😄
I like very much how you have went about bringing the old girl back. you remind me of my Dad when I was growing up. Not a fortune spent but great results. Thank you for what you do Sir. Kerry
Decals make the car go louder not faster😀. Great video as always just a pleasure to watch. Many thanks.
Sweet ride! nice job on the engine 👍😊
Jonathan, you are a jewel of a mechanic, not many of your kind left. What a great man you are, you have all my respect.
Right on Jonathan, Up in Canada were watching the friendly back and forth between you and Scott in Alberta Canada.
Nice work Jonathan.
Great job. It's great seeing old cars get a little TLC. and put back on the road. That's awesome
Nice work............. keep having fun with these old cars. My brother had a Golden Hawk back in the late 50's.. That thing was a rocket ship. Nice to see it still has the beans to run 75 miles an hour.
Good job Jonathan!! Great to see another Studebaker on the road in North Carolina!
Man she runs great! Best to you and yours Jonathan!
I bet those decals gave you an extra 50hp!!👍 Great job on the engine Jonathan!!
Amazing just Amazing bringing life back to this!!!
You are definitly out of the box and I like it !!!
Sounds excellent , Jonathan ! I'm glad that transmission still works good . That last little bit put great big smile on my face . Nice to see you ain't losing too much horse power through that slush bucket , she still spins those tires just fine . Lol . Another job , well done !

❤ all right. I am looking forward to seeing Saturday's race with cold warmotors.🇺🇲👍✌️😎

Me too!!
Makes all the right noises. Who could complain? Great job.
Use white vinegar to flush the cooling system. Get rid of the rust in the block for cheap. Luv the car, that motor sounds sweet.
Scott from Cold War motors would be the man to do the bodywork on that carJonathan did a great job on that car engine looks fantastic and sounds great

Johnathan, that car ride had me smiling all the way.👍👍👍🇺🇸✌🏻😎
Beautiful job...that certainly is the way an engine should start cold..great job Jonathan..just fantastic
My father would be speechless. His fondest memories were of his 53 and 55 Studebaker "Lowey" coupes.
For what ever reason you do You Tube, I am so glad that you do, oh and that Studebaker sounds amazing
Exactly, That’s how the Hawke sounded, on our streets . Such a cool car .. love this video. You got so much more in the USA . You show these machines like no others . Great project Jonathan 😊🇨🇦😊🇨🇦
Man that old Stude' likes to RUN! Awesome job putting it all back together! Sure don't build them like that anymore.
Great work good to see it running down the road. Sounds good idling.
Another great job, Jonathan! You've saved another one from the crusher and given it a fighting chance at survival.
Let me first say that I really enjoy your work and learning from you. It is amazing that you can get these treasures on the road again. I hope that you can show more of the machine work and different parts being rebuilt/repaired. Some day I would like to come to meet you and shake your hand. Thank you sir for sharing your talents
Nice ride. Thanks for taking us along for the shakedown cruise.

Nice looking car! You did a great job on the rebuild Jonathan , I like your way of thinking 👍👍👍

Great job Jonathan, love your work, and REALLY love the Hawk, keep up the content!
This makes me so happy!
I learned to drive in a 1955 Packard Clipper.
Beautiful car - great job, Jonathan.
Awesome job and I think team Studebaker and ford flathead are in a bit of trouble on this race ….all in fun 👍👍
Jonathon, you fix up old cars like we did back in the day. Do what you have to to make it run. Nice job on the Golden Hawk! As for the in frame rebuild, that’s how it was done back then. Pulling the heads, re grinding valves, dropping the pan and putting in new rings and bearings wasn’t unusual. It’s what you did to fix up an old car. Today’s cars aren’t made for repairs like that.
I’m with you about carburetors. No big deal. 99.9% of the problems are just dirt. Take it apart, clean everything and put it together. It should run just fine. Ultrasonic cleaners have made that a whole lot easier though.
It’s great to see these old cars get another life. Sell them to some rich guy who likes to do paint and body work and he’ll have a treasure.
You done a great job getting it going again.
Great job I watch every clip and am still learning at 75. It keeps your hands busy and your mind working. Thanks for all of the content.
Hi, 74 here, learning also haha.
79, still learning + doing stuff.
70 learning also@@SteamCrane
Good job! Saved a great piece of history.
The engine looks brand new. Super job Jonathan!!!!!
Thank you Jonathan I really appreciate your videos
Grandfather had a silver hawk for a little while. It was quite impressive for me being about I don’t know 8 years old. I love to ride one again thanks for the video. Great stuff.
Hi Jonathan, sounds real mean haha, folks here in UK would love that sound. Well done many thanks. From Nr Liverpool UK.
Beutiful ! You are the master!
Channel like this are what youtube was originally all about.
That V8 sounds like it has plenty of life in it but it doesnt seem to pull as hard as the sound it makes suggests it should.
Oh wait. I think I was wrong. 75mph seems slower in the video.
I stand corrected, that engine pulls pretty damn good.
Brother that car sounds really good you are a magician God bless you brother
no speed limit laws were broken in the making of this video, great video
Wow! Way cool! I hope you take it all the way back to when it was new!
Nice work enjoy your Studebaker thanks for sharing your videos
You can make anything and everything go 😁😁👍👍👍👍
Wow Jon, it moves right along! Sounds great! Well done getting it running and driving under it's own power! I love this sort of thing! All the best, Mart in England.
Edit: Just a later thought. That's a proper factory hot rod. One of the first muscle cars. Great to watch and very interesting.
the Studebaker is great , the 100e is great in its own way too
Those are awesome cars,,,Seems to run great. Your right, thats a sweet, very buildable, car now. Keep @ it,,,,Izzy Strong,,,
I must say you’ve got the old girl back on her feet again! Sounds good and goes good. Nice job on the car and on the video. The Junk Whisperer rides again! 🥸👍👀🔨🎂✅❗️
Sweet looking and sounds great to
