In reply to Customer Service. How interesting that the 56 Golden Hawk was considered too small to be a true muscle car as compared to the 64 GTO, considering that the Studebaker was about an inch longer, had five inches more wheelbase, and outweighed the GTO by a couple of hundred pounds. I guess the GTO was the very first muscle car that started in 1964.

Why is an unrestored truck said to have its “work clothes” on? Something like that? Does anyone know the correct term? Please help. Thanks, Doran

Back in the day there seemed to some confusion between “frenching” (filling the seam
between components such as headlight and tailight rings or trim and “tunneling” . Your description of frenched seems to combine both into one. My personal knowledge was greatly influenced by the “little books” ie. the original Rod & Custom.

In reply to Tim. Matching numbers is a big thing in European cars. The first thing they ask, if your selling a following for example is it a matching numbers car. A big knock off if it isnt.

In reply to Jon.

Hi Jon,

It’s an age old question…. what is a “Muscle Car”, and what was the first one? By definition a Muscle Car is a stripped down mid-sized sedan with a high-performance engine.
Many consider the 1964 GTO to be the first muscle car, while others argue for other models. The 1956 Golden Hawk is almost too small to me considered a mid-sized sedan and is closer in size to a “Sports Car” In the realm of Corvettes and T-Birds in size, but with a back seat. There is no doubt the Golden Hawk was a powerful package… Is it a Muscle Car? We’ll leave that for others to sort out.

Wrench Safe,
