In 1957 the three lesser Hawk models (Sky Hawk, Flight Hawk, and Power Hawk) were discontinued, and the single Silver Hawk was introduced to replace them. The Silver Hawk was available with either a six, a 259 cid V8, or a 289 cid V8. The Silver and Golden Hawks were very similar stylewise, with a few exceptions. The Silver Hawk did not have the Golden Hawks 'hood bulge' to accomodate the supercharger (the Silver Hawk was not supercharged. There were some differences in the fins and the Silver Hawk was a coupe whereas the Golden Hawk was a pillarless hardtop. Although the Golden Hawk was discontinued in 1958, the Silver Hawk lived on, virtually unchanged, until 1961.Source -
