The Studebaker Golden Hawk was a series of luxury hardtops introduced for the 1956 model year. The Golden Hawk was the top offering for the Hawk Series, and stood alone as Studebaker's flagship model. This series of cars were only available in a two door hardtop body style, and were initially powered by a 5.8L V8 engine that produced 275hp. After the 1956 model year, the engine changed to a supercharged 4.7L V8 unit that also generated 275hp. Production of the Studebaker Golden Hawk lasted until 1958.
