Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2005Hawks
Just checking both the Jul and Aug issues of TW tonight at work,and I noticed the production figures.In 1960 they built 220 Hawks at the Hamilton plant,and about the same in 61 I believe.So first off,anyone else out there have a 60 Hamilton Hawk?,its a rare bird. But what I wonder is why they bothered to build any at all.Why would you set up a line or track and run off 220 units,it just dosen't seem to make any economic sense,why didn't they just build a few more in South Bend? Also,how did the cars arrive in Hamilton,were they CKD,completely knocked down and just asssembled?I can't see Hamilton Stamping out fenders and other body parts for such few cars. Can someone point me to a good book on the Hamilton operations?

I'm pretty sure that Nova Scotia white 60 is a Hamilton Hawk, and doesn't Judy S have one too?

I think I'm going to have to retire (or die) to have any time for me, or any fun.
