Service manuals & hub caps

[JoeC]

I want get a service manual for my 62 Hawk. There seem to be a lot out there that apply to different years and have a lot of different prices on them. Is there any "right" manual to get? Also, my Hawk came with a set of full wheel covers that have the Hawk logo in the center instead of the lazy S. What have I got??
Thanks.

Those hup caps are 1966 , the only year they were used and weren't on Hawks....go figure !

Studebaker issued a new shop manual for 1959 cars, then printed additional pages to provide new info each year through 1964. So you could buy an original one that covers 59-62 (ie, did not get updated for 63 or 64 for some reason), or just buy the 59-64, which is available in both reprinted hard copy and on CD. They all cover both Hawks and Larks. Avantis had a separate shop manual.
