We sometimes don't realize how rare Studebakers are.
In doing research for my up-coming December 2015 Hemmings Classic Car column, I had occasion to tally up total Edsel production for all three model years they were built, combined: 110,847 cars.
In contrast, ALL the Studebaker Hawks ever built, including oddities like export Gran Turismo Hawks with six-cylinder engines and export 1957 Silver Hawk hardtops, adds up to only 79,032 cars.
So the next time you see any Edsel, know that it is more common than any Studebaker Hawk. BP
