My buddy "2moredoors" asked me to post these pictures he recently took in Cuba. The 4 dr hawk was outside his hotel.
The first pictures are of a 1956 Studebaker Flight Hawk 2 door (coupe), converted into a 4 door for use as a taxi. It is now made up of 5 different donor makes on a Studebaker frame/chassis/ The original 6 cylinder flat head has been removed and a very large Russian truck V8 has been installed. Most pre revolution taxis are now using 4 cylinder diesel engines as the diesel is cheaper and easier to buy especially on the black market.
