What YEAR Hawk?

The Hawk Chrome side Grill Mouldings used on '56 to '61 Hawks include the Painted Pan inside, '56-'57, '58, '59-'61, and 1962 completely Painted, are ALL different.

So it makes a BIG difference WHICH Year the Hawk in question is.

Rich,
The, "painted pan" inserts are interchangeable, and easily swap able, 1956-61. So if the OP still has his insert, any 56-61 chrome, "nostril" will do. Then too, other year inserts could be substituted, indefinitely, while keeping an eye out for correct year. A 56 would be easiest to substitute, since it needs no turn signal provisions, and any existent could be filled in. The inserts are always removed to re-chrome the nostrils, and often the inserts and nostrils turn up separately.

The right front wheel molding is hardest to find, of the four on the car. Probably because so many drivers were parking by ear, in later years.

I assume for a "Driver" Car, the OP needs a Bolt on unit, not one to tear apart and re-plate or change Pans.
Pans are sort of Riveted or swagged in, not an "easy" fix.

Also we don't know that it is a '57-'61.

Sounds to Me like He has a 1960 Hawk.

To remove the insert, simply grind off the braded material at each of the 8-10 mount points, on the backside of the nostril. To replace the insert, simply drill a 1/8" diameter hole, about 5/32" to 3/16" deep at each mount point (careful not to drill through), then attach with short, sheet metal screws. The inserts will stay in place, and only be visible if removed form the car, to view the backside. As I said, EASY to do. Been there-done that, several times. Done this way, it is easy to mix and match inserts with and 56-61 nostril; include 1962, if painting over the chrome.

How do you think folks reattach the inserts when the nostrils are re-chromed? Similarly, how is it possible to paint the insert edges, if not removed? The days of going to a dealer and ordering the correct year assembly have been over for many decades now.

They sure are!.........I remember ordering a pair for a '56 Sky Hawk from SASCO around 1974........Each side (NOS in the box of course) was $11.00....With pans!!!!

That's only useful for those that can think outside the box
