Will a 1964 Cruiser radiator fit a 1964 GT Hawk. I am looking for a radiator that has to have 3 cords that fit 1964 GT Hawk.

Yes should fit, but pay attention to the direction that the overflow on the filler neck points. (If that matters to you?) -
It'll fit. Studebaker was cheap and used the same parts on several models.

Would this be a case of CASC--- Cheap A$$ Studebaker Company
or just financially savvy

It wasn't cheap as much as being woefully underfunded for product development, for more than their last decade. I am constantly amazed at how they took the freaky-looking 58 body and made it into a totally new-looking car, the Lark... how that Lark was given a few different makeovers that really changed the look with mostly smoke and mirrors... and how about transforming the Hawk into the GT- not all that much change, but BOY, what a different look! And let's not forget the effort to bring an outdated engine design into the performance world without the funds for what it really needed, a major re-engineering...
Stude's resourcefulness right to the end is- to me at least- admirable, and near miraculous! To call them cheap does them a real disservice
There's a big difference between "making do" because you're a cheapskate, and doing so because you just don't have the funds. I've often wondered what Stude could have done with their creative bunch, combined with a Big 3 budget... oh, the possibilities....

Thanks for the info. Found a radiator. I will ask more questions. Since I am more of a 1950 to 1951 Stude person, I am not educated as of yet on hawks. I plan to get my books on hawks today.Comment
