>> The Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana (USA), introduced their Hawk in 1956. With four models, based on the wheelbase and chassis of the coupés and hardtops from 1953. With Golden Hawk, Sky Hawk and Power Hawk you had a V8 that could handle 352, 289 and 259 cubic inches respectively, while the Flight Hawk opted for a 'Champion' 185 cin. In 1962, the Hawk was replaced by a redesigned Gran Turismo model. That 'GT Hawk' is therefore a 'grand touring' coupé and was sold between 1962 and '64 as the absolute top representative of the Studebaker brand. _ _ _ His styling was a rather radical facelift, in which designer Brooks Stevens sought inspiration from the then pure European lines. He initially called his design 'Hawk Monaco' (with a prototype that even bore Monegasque number plates). The refreshed interior also became a trendsetter, where later Dodges and Chryslers, for example, clearly inspired their dashboard. In terms of engine, in 1962 you could choose between 'two-barrel' or 'four-barrel' versions of Studebaker's 289 (4.7-liter) V8 equipped with carburetors. You could pair it with a (standard) manual (three-speed), 'overdrive' four-speed gearbox or the 'Flight-O-Matic' automatic transmission.
