 This Custom-made Convertible based on a 62 Gran Turismo Hawk. The door script is that of a Conestoga Station Wagon. Nice conversation despite the abundance of custom trim pieces and parts - the hood is also that of an earlier Hawk.

 Wonder what the emblem is fastened to the vent door?

 Looks coachbuilt rather than home-made, so this might be the maker's badge. I don't recognize it, maybe someone else does?

 Thanks. (Looks like an odd face, doesn't it?) 😄

 I thought so too, like a gargoyle.

 This car was converted by my father some 40 odd years ago. He sold it in the last 5 years and it was subsequently sold to the guy who now owns it.
After "demolishing" the 1960 Hawk in the prior series they were looking for a new car and this caught their eye as being a convertible it was
more flexible for carrying camera's and such.

To the guys querying the badge on the vent door that was something my father attached to all his custom cars .. "Body by Fisher"
Although not apparent in this photo the boot features a continental ala the 1960 Chrysler Imperial and the grille outline was refashioned
to be like the Packards originally. It would appear that the man who bought it off Dad replaced with his original grille & Conestoga script.

 I’m guessing this is the same car?

Yes it is. A recent article about the car and how it ended up on Jack Irish

Classic Cars Worldwide wrote The Studebaker was Dale Fisher’s personal car for 40 years. (...) This ’62 Gran Turismo Hawk was customized by Australia’s King of Custom, Dale Fisher, in 1975. A true survivor car with original paint and interior. Beginning in the 1950’s, Dale customized 64 vehicles into convertibles and more than 280 other customs before calling it quits in the ‘90’s.


Thanks @Dachfi60 for these exciting news - that's some creative use of the "Body by Fisher" tag! I genuinely like how humble you are, but your father definitely deserves a mention in the headline here! :sun:
