HISTORY: The Golden Hawk traces its genesis back to the original Raymond Loewy Starlight and Starliner coupes of 1953 and the Speedster Coupe of 1955. 1956 saw the introduction of the Hawks, with the Golden Hawk being the most prestigious of the series and was basically a continuation of the basic hardtop coupe design.

For 1956, the Golden Hawk had small fins and was powered by the Packard 352 engine.


For 1957 and 1958, the fins were made larger and given a unique concave shape and the Studebaker 289 V8, supplemented by a low pressure McColluch supercharger, replaced the heavier Packard unit.


PRODUCTION: A total of 9,308 Golden Hawks were produced over the
3 year, 1956 (4,071) 1957 (4,356) 1958 (878) period


Only 878 units were produced in 1958. This is number 175.


MORE INFORMATION: The Studebaker V8, an overhead valve engine was introduced in 1951 replacing the Commander Six in automotive use.
Originally displacing 232 cubic inches, it was progressively enlarged to 259 and then to 289 cubic inches. Early 1955 Commanders used a reduced displacement 224 cubic inch version which was also available in trucks in 1955-56. Dual exhausts and both two and four barrel carburetors were available depending upon the year and model of vehicle. For 1957 and 1958, Golden Hawks used the 289 version with a supercharger installed.
1957 Packard Clippers also used the supercharged 289. Horsepower ranges from 120 for the early version to 275 for the supercharged Hawks. Relatively heavy for its displacement, it is a strong and reasonably powerful engine with good parts availability.
