Tough call...I'm going with the GP, Hawk, T-bird and 300.

All beautiful, but GP wins. The rest are tied.

I'll take the final year of the Studebaker Gran Turismo. Other order would be Chrysler, Pontiac then Thunderbird.

Excellent comparo! For me, the T-Bird wins with that magnificent interior. Then comes closely the GP, then Chrysler, and then the Hawk. I give huge kudos to the Hawk for a superb redesign.

I like them all but if I could only have one it would be the Pontiac.

It's close for me between the CHRYSLER and the PONTIAC.
The Chrysler WINS!
As for the other two, they leave me cold. Not a fan of the look of either.

Since my first car (purchased from a Jaguar dealer, at 16 yrs oldn) was a mint '64 Thunderbird, I'll have to go with the T-Bird. Plus as noted above, the 'Bird had the best interior (coved rear seat) of the bunch. second would be the Gran Prix

Nostalgia wins with me! Studebaker, then Thunderbird.

GP by a hair over the TB, followed by the 300, and the Hawk at the back of the pack. By 1964 the basic design of the Hawk had overstayed its welcome IMO, although I will give kudos to Studebaker stylists for refreshing it each year to keep it interesting.

TB 1st
GP 2nd
Stude 3rd

Once again I agree with Mr. Bono's choices....Grand Prix is #1.
