As competition with the Big Three manufacturers increased Studebaker responded with a quartet of Hawks. Top was the Golden Hawk with a 352 V8 Packard engine, then came the Sky Hawk that had a Studebaker V8 engine, and the Power and Flight Hawks had smaller engines. With the cessation of production of the Packard engine the following year the Golden Hawk had to revert to the 289 V8 Studebaker engine. In 1957 the models were reduced to the Golden Hawk and the Silver Hawk. The Hawk continued in limited form until completely redesigned in 1962 and sold well. In April 1963 the Super Hawk and Super Lark were unveiled but production ceased in December 1963. This is a book of contemporary road tests, new model introductions, technical information, driver's impressions, history. Models covered include:- Golden Hawk, Lark, Silver Hawk, Lark IV, Daytona, GT Hawk, R2.

This review is from: Studebaker Cars: Studebaker Hawks and Larks 1956-63 (Brooklands Books Road Tests Series) (Paperback)
This book could have been a great one. As with other books in this series from the editor, there are no color photos, only black and white. The book includes a number of reviews of the Hawk and Lark from automotive magazines which are interesting, but it misses the mark. The articles seem to be photocopies, the pictures are not at all clear and many of the articles are from Australia, not Studebakers biggest market. All in all, the articles are interesting but the execution of the printing of them is faulty. It would be cheaper to just photocopy the articles, with the same quality.
