Started cut and buff on my friend’s Powerhawk

Dan the man said

I could tell by the contour of the roof line and the shape of the quarter glass. The body lines are pretty much the same as the 1953 commander that my dad had, he also had a 1962 golden hawk and I wish that I had either one or both today. You have a real nice car there. I never heard of the Powerhawk before.
