The Studebaker Hawk
The Studebaker company out of South Bend Indiana was known for its sedate but sturdy styling. It's low slung, sleek and eye catching styling caught the eye of many, including the automotive press which loved it. The Hawk name was branded to these coupes by the mid fifties and it continued successfully into production with some changes through the 1964 model year. Today, Studebaker is best known for the Hawk and later, the much applauded Avanti. Supercharged versions of these cars are rising in value as the buying public sees the value and contribution they made to the car industry.

1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Sedan
$51,900. EXQUISITE doesn't describe this MUSEUM QUALITY convertible sedan from the FDR era. Meticulously restored to a tune north of SIX FIGURES! Just an outstanding example. A show winner for sure. It's restorer was a man of fine tase and fussy. Every detail correct down to the nuts and bolts. Impeccable paint in a very period deep burgundy, almost brown in some light. Just gorgeous! Correct tan leather interior. Perfect woodgraining, gages, knobs and levers. Fully restored from the top to the bottom. Quite possibly a frame off exercise.
Super smooth running flat head V8. You can almost not hear it running. No drips. No smoke. Smooth shifting, three speed manual transmission. Nice clutch, ect. No projects here. Just get in, go and dust off the trophy shelf.
Could qualify for a trailer queen but we'd much rather see her get used and shown off on the American roads as it once was.
Just and absolute incredible survivor from an era when so few cars survived. A true piece of American history.
Full gallery of pics in the link below. I also have a full walk around video to share and any questions that you might have I will answer in a timely manner.

1984 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Convertible
NEW PRICE! $14,900. Here we have something very special! A rare, factory authorized Trans Am convertible from 1984. An expensive option, some say adding upwards of $14K to MSRP!
With just 68,517 miles from new and backed up by Carfax, this rare roadster has been very obviously babied it's entire life. Spending a large portion of that in Florida.
Converted by a company called Autoform out of Indiana and Oklahoma, no corners were cut in the conversion. Lots of reinforcements added to eliminate body flex. The rear seat removed and a fiberglass tub in stalled to stow the manual soft top. This created a full, two seat roadster look. Have you ever seen one? We haven't. It's been said that about 600 were converted between 1983 and 1986 but no concrete production figures could be found.
Nicely equipped car too...
L69 High Output 305
WS6 Performance Pkg
WS4 Trans Am Pkg
Power Windows
Power Door Locks
Tilt Steering Wheel
Air Conditioning (inop)
Automatic Transmission
AM/FM CD Player
Extremely nice repaint in the original red with proper reproduction graphics. A newer convertible top also. Nicely sorted with a fresh tune-up, carb rebuild and a new set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. Could still use a set of valve cover gaskets as they seem to seep a little but not crucial.
A very nice cruiser that will turn heads everywhere it goes and a car that will most definitely increase in value as the collector demographic changes and 80's cars, especially iconic models like this become more and more sought after.
Check out the gallery of pictures in the link below. A very clean car at every angle.
When will you ever see another one?

1996 Mercedes Benz E320
NEW PRICE! $6,900. With just over 58,000 true miles, this E Class Mercedes is said to be one of the last 'true' Mercedes Benz models. I can see why. It's a TANK!
Incredibly well preserved, maintained and cherished by all 3 of it's owners. The second owners having it for 19 years! Gleaming black with a SPOTLESS tan leather interior. You'd swear this car was 3 years old.

Nothing to worry about here. A turn key car with a stellar reputation for durability. Most accumulating over 200K miles found online. This one is barely broken in.

Only known issues are two small areas of paint bubbles at both rear wheel arches and a spare key that's keyless feature doesn't work on. Yes, we have two sets of keys.
Check out the gallery of pics in the link below. Priced beyond reasonably. You can't go wrong. Especially if you know these cars. Ones this clean with low miles don't exist!

1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz
$22,900. With JUST 33,551 on the odometer, this disco era Caddy will literally take you back in time. Fresh from the dry state of New Mexico, it's very apparent this car has NEVER been subjected to any harsh weather. It's like walking onto a Cadillac dealers lot in 1979 to purchase a one year old used one.
Finished in it's numbers matching and unusual, Ruidoso Saddle Metallic shade of paint, this car has undergone a quality repaint at some point in it's life. So much in fact, the factory placement of the pinstripes have been painstakingly recreated. If you didn't know, you wouldn't know. The STUNNING and supple, dark saddle leather interior compliments it's amazingly and shows as absolutely brand new. It's original to the car. Note the factory accessory floor mat is still in amazing original condition also. A list of features, just to name a few..

This car operates as good as it looks. Nothing needs to be attended to.

Full power accessories and they all work as designed. Auto climate control does as it should. No issues there. Every ash tray looks brand new and unused (Unusual for the 70's!) and the gauges all work to spec as well.
This is a show winner right out of the gate. Start winning awards right away with this 70's masterpiece.

1931 Cadillac Limousine Fleetwood
SALE PENDING... Introducing ‘Sabrina’, a 1931 Cadillac limousine by Fleetwood. Sabrina was purchased in 1951 by its current family owners.
She’s what appears to be an amazing survivor, still wearing her original paint and interior. A genuine time capsule. Not a speck of rust to be found, Sabrina has obviously lived a mostly privileged life. Even the original silk window shades are all present and accounted for.
Last registered in 1974, she was run and moved periodically by the family up until 4 or 5 years ago. A true preservation class masterpiece with a long and interesting New England heritage. The family has requested I find her a new, deserving home.
Own a piece of American history for just $15,900. She’s obviously need some attention before being road worthy again but a labor of love for sure. We are absolutely open to reasonable offers from the right buyer. Located in Rhode Island so please reach out to me directly for more information and check out the link below for more pictures. It's just incredible.
UPDATE! We do now have TWO videos of the car being started and run in November of 2012!

1951 Studebaker Champion Convertible
$24,900. Feast your eyes on the super spectacular and super iconic, bullet nose Studebaker from 1951! Hard to believe the bullet nose design was only used for two model years (50-51). Here we have a super RARE convertible model! Less than 4 percent of production was in convertible form! How many of those survive today? I'd venture to say very few!
Finished in it's original color, Maui Blue, this car was restored in the early 1980's. Found languishing in a garage in downtown Boston. Wearing a 1968 inspection sticker, it's then owner decided, even then, this car deserved better. The restoration started almost immediately and most of the sheet metal, trim and chrome garnishing was replaced with NOS in the box, ORIGINAL Studebaker parts. Some undercarriage work was also performed and was professionally done to a high standard. No corners were cut with it's rebirth. The interior was also renewed at that time with a very tasteful and proper light plaid pattern with off white trimmings. The convertible top also. A white cloth with the correct rear GLASS window (see pics). The 40 year old restoration has held up fantastically as you can see. The car was used primarily for events, shows and pleasure cruises only. It's long term owner is a very active member of the local and national Studebaker clubs. A true fan of the brand.
Mechanically the car is equipped with the 196ci flathead straight six and that's mated to a smooth shifting three speed manual transmission. Yes, the car is also equipped with factory overdrive. A big plus. A very turn key cruiser you can start enjoying on day one.
We have a thick folder of receipts that accompany the car and chronicles it's repair and maintenance history. Always serviced by a local, Studebaker only mechanic. Some of the larger items listed are a rebuilt cylinder head and a rebuilt brake system. Just to name a couple. The list is much too long to type here.
Some items to mention. The power top is only operated manually now as at some point, the hydraulic pistons for the top were removed (the manual operation is super easy.). The original AM radio does not operate as also, the rare, original accessory clock. All safety features work fine. Lights, wipers, horn, ect. No problem passing your state inspection.
