Studebaker guide
Every Studebaker restoration guide on this site, hubbed in one place: the 1956 Hawk family launch on the South Bend 289 V8, the 1962 Gran Turismo Hawk, the 1963 Hawk-GT 289, the 1964-only Super Hawk with the R2 289 + Paxton SN-60 on the Hawk body, and the 1964-1966 Hamilton Ontario final-assembly window — plus the 1962-onward Avanti R1 / R2 / R3 / R4 ladder on the MFG cocoon-fiberglass body, and the 1963 Studebaker Challenger compact on the Lark chassis. The brand-side muscle terminal lands at March 1966 Hamilton — distinct from the Detroit-side 1973 muscle close.
