This car is not a modern replica.

It is newer than 1958, it is not a Packard.  Brooks Stevens was not involved.

Hawk is part of the name of this car.

And the point goes to Mekubb for the correct answer. 

Its name may have been "Special Hawk", or "Show Car" as specified on the serial number plate for the car.  I understand it was sold earlier this year and is undergoing restoration.

Here is a view of this unusual car from behind.
