Hadn't heard of that place. The original Henry Ford was certainly a man of some unique ideology and contrasts. Sometimes I wonder if he and the Deuce were similar in anything???
#347 of 366 On eBay... by uplanderguy

a '62 Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk motorized model. I've never seen one.http://www.ebay.com/itm/181055520036?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619
I'd have to paint that yellow interior.
I always wished Danbury or Fairfield Mint would do a Gran Turismo Hawk. Like the real car, you'd think they'd be halfway there for tooling since there's a beautiful '57 Golden Hawk 1/24 scale model out there.

I've never seen one of those. Odd, very Japanese, reminds me of a period Bandai creation, but I don't think they made kits at the time. Looks like the same company made a few other American cars
Speaking of Bandai, they made a nice Avanti:

I think there's a guy in the S.D.C. who either makes those GT Hawk metal models by hand or imports them from somewhere. They're astronomically expensive. I do like the Rose Mist one in your pic.

That Avanti looks pretty nice for the scale...except for that light blue with red interior.

I like the blue and red combo. I've even seen sedans painted that way, with blue on the bottom and a dark red top and, while unconventional, actually works on the right car.

It was a cheap tinplate toy when new - you can't ask for too much. Here's on on ebay
There was a fintail in the same Bandai line of tin toys - I have one of these.
For something on the other end of the price/rarity spectrum, a German made clockwork Studebaker

Thanks for posting all this, especially the German-made '53 which I (ahem) see is still for sale at that asking price!
