1959 Silver Hawk numbers request

[Champion51]

Could some good, knowledgeable member provide me with the number of 1959 Silver Hawk models produced? Numbers produced with the 259V8 4-bbl is of particular interest.

If anyone has the number of Hawks off the assembly line from '56-'61, that also would be of great value. I realize that Silver Hawks were only produced '57-'59.

Thanks so much in advance. All information greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, the info on 259 4 Brl. '59 Silver Hawks is not likely to be available, any more than the number with a Radio, Heater, Wheel Covers or any optional other Accessory.

Someone may know how many '59 Silver Hawk 6's and how many 8's, that's about it, short of searching for about 2 weeks through the all of the '59 Lark & Hawk production orders and paying the hourly fee to do so.

And then, there's the Hamilton, ONT, Canada Plant, another situation entirely.

I agree with you, Rich. I did provide the six and eight production breakout for 1959 Hawks in my initial post above.

Yes Gary I know that NOW!

That's what happens when it takes (me) a full 13 min. to compose and type a response and I miss your's!
