Hello to all!
I have a 1957 Studebaker Hawk with a Champion 185 6 cylinder. I was told that cars with 6 cylinder engines were made with a thinner frame and body so the smaller engine would perform better. This did not make any sense to me. I would think that would be too costly for Studebaker to have done. Has anyone heard this before? And, does anyone know what gauge metal the body panels are----i.e.--fenders, hoods etc?? Regards----Dan
