  • American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information
    American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information 1956 Statesman and Ambassador 1956 Statesman Gets a New Look The 1956 Nash Statesman received a major facelift. The front and rear fenders were restyled. There were larger front running lights and new taillights. A revised hood ornament was used and one- piece rear windows replaced the three piece '55 unit. The chrome side stripping now included a shallow 'Z' shape on the side and outline moldings on the hood and rear fenders. A 12-volt electrical system was used for the first time. Statesman was being phased out, - so the only Statesman model available for 1956 was the "Super" four-door sedan. Surprisingly, even though its days were numbered, the Statesman engine was redesigned to fit an overhead valve cylinder head and a 1956 Statesman 4-Door Sedan. two-barrel carb. This did increase the power to 130 hp, ten more than the two carb L-Head had produced, and more importantly 15 more foot-pounds of torque. It also allowed the compression ratio to be reduced to 7.47:1 letting the Statesman return to regular grade fuel. This motor was shared with the Rambler, albeit there with a one-barrel carb and ten less horsepower. 1956 Ambassador Ambassador for 1956 still offered the 6 and 8 cylinder variants, though the six mimicked the Statesman in that only one body style was offered; the 4-Door Super. It too shared all the styling changes of 1956 Statesman, but on the seven inch longer wheelbase of the 1956 Statesman 4-Door Sedan.

  • 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Authenticity Guide from 1996 Was Compiled with the Cooperation of Members of the 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Owners Register
    1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Authenticity Guide 2 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Authenticity Guide Copyright © 1996, 2017 by Frank J. Ambrogio For the 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Owners Register Last Update - September 7, 20213 Page 3 Introduction The original 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Authenticity Guide from 1996 was compiled with the cooperation of members of the 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Owners Register. Participating members responded to questionnaires indicating the color, condition, texture, location, etc., of items related to authenticity. The results were compiled and compared against other sources to determine what is probably the most correct condition. Since that time, many new items have come to light and are included in this new Guide. Authenticity is a rather nebulous term as applied to Studebakers. During my research, I found accessories which were not listed in any of the Studebaker literature for 1956 Golden Hawks. Every effort has been made to research the items listed as thoroughly as possible. I placed more significance on the Studebaker Chassis, Body, Shop Manuals, as well as magazine articles and drive reports from the period when the cars were new, than on company brochures and advertisements which often were printed before the cars actually went into production. Even relying on magazines from the period was no safe bet. The April 1956 issue of Hot Rod magazine shows a beautiful picture of the dashboard and steering wheel on page 54. However, the horn button was from a 1955 model. As for company brochures, the one entitled STUDEBAKER HAWKS, craftsmanship with a flair also shows a 1956 Golden Hawk dashboard and steering wheel, however the steering wheel is black, instead of white.

  • An Engineering Odyssey: from All-Steel to True Unit Bodies 1914-1960
    An Engineering Odyssey: From All-Steel to True Unit Bodies 1914-1960 Technical advances in body engineering was not necessarily a hallmark of the early Chrysler Corporation. In fact, Chalmers and Maxwell more or less served as a parts bin for the for the first Chrysler, although it is true that body engineer Oliver Clark — working under ZSB — added a number of touches to make the early Chryslers attractive and contemporary-looking. Fisher Body was one of the Company’s early suppliers, providing the Chrysler bodies and body parts until Fisher became part of GM and Walter Chrysler cut off the relationship. The Fisher bodies were composite wood and steel, quick to tool and easy to change although requiring large numbers of skilled labors and experienced woodworkers to build. At Dodge Brothers, however, which Chrysler soon acquired, all- steel bodies were the standard. The Dodge brothers had first hooked up with the E.G. Budd Manufacturing Company in 1914, and “all steel” had been a Dodge feature ever since. Budd had started to build all-steel touring-car bodies in late 1912. Among the company’s early body customers was Oakland, and it also supplied pressedsteel panels that year for Ford, Willys-Overland and Buick. In late 1914, Dodge Brothers contracted with Budd to make 5,000 all-steel bodies for the company’s new touring car. The 1915 Dodge became an immediate hit, and, by 1916, Budd was building 500 bodies a day for Dodge. Budd and the Dodge Brothers believed an all-steel body to be more uniform, lighter, stronger, more quickly made and painted and therefore less expensive than a composite body.
