56 Golden Hawk

[Pancho]

Were the Golden Hawks from 1956, which came with the 352, supercharged or was it just the 289 that were supercharged?

There were no factory supercharged 352" Packard V8s. The '57 and '58 Golden Hawks, '58 Packard Hawks and '57 Packards were supercharged.

To say it another way,NO '56 Hawks were factory supercharged,Packard engine or Studebaker engine.

Boy, the Packard V8, with power steering, power brakes, AND a McCulloch supercharger kit to boot....Just think of the weight pushing down on those poor front wheels!

No matter how many times you say it, it still will only be fifteen pounds more than a '57-58 Golden Hawk.
