    F L Y I N G H u b c a p s A Publication of the Central Florida Chapter The Studebaker Drivers Club, Inc. MAY 2015 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR WOW! TAX DAY IS BEHIND US. TIME TO ENJOY SPRING! May is a great time of the year, especially for those of us who live here in Florida. Most of us were smart enough to move here from the cold country, while a few of us were lucky enough to be born here. I frequently receive Studebaker newsletters from Chapters in places like Syracuse, New York and Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I love getting their newsletters and frequently I get something that I think you folks will enjoy. For instance, the April Badger Bullet-N featured their Joke of the Month that I’m sure they won’t mind my sharing it with you. It goes like this---Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, a North Carolina mountain man, was drafted by the Army. On his first day in basic training, the Army issued him a comb. That afternoon the Army barber sheared off all his hair. On his second day, the Army issued Herman a toothbrush. That after- noon the Army dentist yanked seven of his teeth. On the third day, the Army issued him a jock strap. The Army has been looking for Herman for 51 years. After you finish laughing at that one, get on out there and work on your Studebaker, or find one of our fellow members who still has a Studebaker, or more, like several of our members who own multiple Studebakers.

  • 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.

    Packard Motor Car Company Headquarters; Detroit, Michigan, U.S. Source: Wikipedia History 1899–1905 Packard was founded by James Ward Packard, his brother William and their partner, George Lewis Weiss, in the city of Warren, Ohio, where 400 Packard automobiles were built at their factory on Dana Street Northeast, from 1899 to 1903. A mechanical engineer, James Packard believed they could build a better horseless carriage than the Winton cars owned by Weiss, an important Winton stockholder, after Packard complained to Alexander Winton and offered suggestions for improvement, which were ignored. Packard's first car was built in Warren, Ohio, on November 6, 1899. Henry Bourne Joy, a member of one of Detroit's oldest and wealthiest families, bought a Packard. Impressed by its reliability, he visited the Packards and soon enlisted a group of investors—including Truman Handy Newberry and Russell A. Alger Jr. On October 2, 1902, this group refinanced and renamed the New York and Ohio Automobile Company as the Packard Motor Car Company, with James Packard as president. Alger later served as vice president. Packard moved operations to Detroit soon after, and Joy became general manager (and later chairman of the board). An original Packard, reputedly the first manufactured, was donated by a grateful James Packard to his alma mater, Lehigh University, and is preserved there in the Packard Laboratory. Another is on display at the Packard Museum in Warren, Ohio. In the beginning, all Packards had a single-cylinder engine until 1903. Packard vehicles featured innovations, including the modern steering wheel and, years later, the first production 12-cylinder engine, adapted from developing the Liberty L-12, and air- conditioning in a passenger car.
