my screen is too small to make out what the placards say. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/X2CDtWZyPMQ/hqdefault.jpg "Classic Packard-Studebakers at Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN) 2017") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2CDtWZyPMQ) ---

The first one looks like a [Speedster](http://www.stude.com/Speed/speedster.htm), second and third are some variant of the [Hawk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studebaker_Silver_Hawk) (or which there seem to have been several) from the mid-'50s, four and five I think are [Gran Turismo Hawks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studebaker_Gran_Turismo_Hawk) ('63 and '64, respectively, if I had to guess), and last is another Hawk rebodied and sold as a 1958 [Packard Hawk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packard_Hawk). None of this is off the top of my head, of course. I just googled around until I found something that matched. A proper expert could probably tell you exact model, year, and trim level.
