Studebaker Sky Hawk, 1956 Sky Hawk | Conceptcarz.com - Pictures, Pricing, Information, Wallpaper, History

In 1956, the 'Loewy Coupes' evolved into the Hawk series consisting of the Flight Hawk (coupe with Champion 6), Power Hawk (coupe with 259 V8), Sky Hawk (hardtop with 289 V8), and Golden Hawk (hardtop with 352 Packard V8). Although the Golden Hawk was the most powerful, the big Packard engine made it perilously nose-heavy. The next-in-line Sky Hawk was much lighter and had much better handling. In 1957, the Golden Hawk got a supercharged Studebaker V8, just as powerful as the Packard engine but much lighter. The three other Hawk models were dropped and replaced by a single model, the Silver Hawk.
