I've long wondered this, and maybe someone here knows: for a time in the fifties, Studebaker was being managed by executives from Curtiss-Wright (Roy Hurley et al), and around the same period Stude's sporty-car lineup became known as Hawk. Was that a simple coincidence, or was there a nostalgic reference in the new name to Curtiss' famous Hawk series of fighter aircraft?
