  • 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.
