Give the man a teddy bear... I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana. Studebakers were made in South Bend, so I've always had a soft spot for them. I have never seen a Packard Hawk. Not even at a car show. There were only 588 made. The photograph is of a Studebaker Hawk. I lost my note where I wrote down the year and if it was a Golden Hawk or a Silver Hawk. It was a Studebaker club show, and there were dozens of Hawks there. Also, several Studebaker Avantis and Avanti IIs. Studebaker made the Avanti up until 1963, but the 1965 Avanti IIs were made by a different company who bought the rights. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

Took the production land speed record away from a Pontiac Bonneville which had an engine nearly twice as big. We had a '60 Lark V8 - manual with O/D - it was dynamite. Ran 25 mpg or better on the highway at 75 mph - not much can do better than that today. I always figured Studebaker went under because they were simply too far ahead of the times.

However the antenna placement makes me think more '58 Packard hawk. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Packard_Hawk_rear.jpg The '57, '58 Packards were for the most part rebadged Studebakers, by 1959 Packard was gone. The last real Packards were the 1955 Clippers. The 1956 cars were just 1955 production over runs. -- Regards, Savageduck
