  • Instument Light Bulb Sizes

    Is there a chart somewhere that would list the correct bulbs for my GT Hawk?

        Look in the Owners Manual under "specifications".

            Most all '56 to the "Modern Era" '70's Cars take #53 small glass and #57 Large Glass Instrument Light bulbs. These wil be the smallest 12 Volt Bulbs with the brass Bayonet base and round glass. Both have the same size base.

            These do cross over to newer Numbers now, and '64 Studes. use the Transparent Red version of the same bulbs that are available at Studebaker Vendors and hard to find elsewhere.

                I went to Hobby Lobby and got some brush on dye. Two coats and they are great!
