Best Facelifted Studebaker Award - Postwar Years

[Studedude1961]

We all know that Studebaker faced almost yearly severe styling budget restraints during the Postwar years. Every independent faced the same challenge: Make the most changes for as little money as possible. In your honest opinions, which ONE facelift (not new design) changed the face of a Studebaker model or models the most?

Jeff,
I'll have to agree the change from 61 to 62 Hawk was a major change.

Considering the positive sales impact the 49 to 50 change might have been the most dramatic one.

Most changed? I guess the '64. You really can't tell its the
same car as the larks.

Then maybe the GT Hawks.

After that I'll vote for the 1950 bullet nose/corn pickers.

I would say the '49 to '50 was the most dramatic. '63 to '64 was near brilliant.

1947 thru 1952, was done on the cheap, and most every piece is interchangable. The changes between 47 to 49 were done for about $9 a car. In fact the 47 had more chrome, like the big box 18 lb. license plate holder.

Then the 53 thu 61 was a bit more expensive cosmetically.
