Studebaker Power Hawk

The Studebaker Power Hawk was a two-door pillared coupe built by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation for the 1956 model year only, one of the four Hawk models offered that year. Technically it belonged to the Studebaker Commander series and used the Commander 259 cubic inch V8, which gave 170 horsepower with a two-barrel carburetor or 185 horsepower with the optional four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust. In the range it sat between the base Flight Hawk pillared coupe and the Sky Hawk pillarless hardtop. It cost 2,101 dollars before options and weighed 3,095 pounds, and 7,095 were built in its single year of production. Both the Power Hawk and the Flight Hawk were dropped at the end of 1956 and replaced by the Studebaker Silver Hawk from 1957.
