I recently purchased my first Studebaker. Its a 1959 Silver Hawk. My question. it has two sets of front turn signals. One in the lower grill and one on top of the fenders. I believe the fender mounted lights do not belong on a 59. Please advise.

If you look on any picture on Google you will find that the 1959 Silver Hawk (not Golden or GT obviously) does not have turn signals on top of the fenders. If you were to take this car back to stock I would recommend removing the top-fender assembly and then filling in the holes with welded metal plate on the underside. Be very careful though as you don't want to damage the paint or use too much (thereby forcing you to grind where you shouldn't.)Last edited by Stude Shoo-wop!; 02-27-2018, 01:40 PM.Jake Robinson Kaywell: Shoo-wops and doo-wops galore to the background of some fine Studes.

Ditto. If you remove them you will have holes to deal with . I would not weld. Modern auto body adhesives are super and they won't warp and won't burn the paint. You will need to prep the metal really well tho.Comment

Ah! I forgot about those! That would certainly be a better method.Originally posted by Jeffry Cassel View PostJake Robinson Kaywell: Shoo-wops and doo-wops galore to the background of some fine Studes. I'm eager and ready to go!
