The car should have a 352 cubic inch "Packard" engine. The Packard engine numbers start with K1001. The engine number , PS1133, that you give would be an engine number for a supercharged 289 cubic inch 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk.Gary L.

This car was assembled in LA on 4-12-56 and was absolutely loaded with accessory items. Destination is shown as 'CO. SERVICE'. I don't know what that means. Maybe it was used as sort of a factory demo? Or maybe it was a contest give-away car?Restorations by Skip Towne

I see you are in Georgia... I bet I know your car. There was (is?) a guy up around Augusta that had a '56 Golden Hawk that he was converting into a '57. He sold the car, and a few years later the buyer came to my granddad looking for a 352 engine to put it back stock. Turns out, my granddad had the original numbers matching engine from the car. It was sold to the current owner, and we never heard from him again. I'm wondering if you have the same car, I think I remember it being black in color.

To kenny 7357,------ It would be nice to track down the original Packard engine for that car. But if that engine was connected to the Packard Automatic, You might just want to keep that stored away, and work
with the Studebaker engine/trans. that's in Your car now. That is, if authenticity isn't critical with You, and You intend to drive the car a lot. Really a much easier to live with drivetrain.
