1958 Jack instructions Packard Hawks and Studebakers?

[Studebaker Wheel]

Found this among my unfiled stuff. I have it listed for the '58 Packards but believe it may have been used for all '58 Studebakers as well? In any event the location is shown in image #2. Have them available if anyone is looking for the final touch to complete their '58.

I think that style jack was only used on ‘58 Packards. Something to do with a standard bumper jack not being compatible with the front bumper and fiberglass front end?

I've never had a jack for any of my Studes.... They seem to disappear.

For what it is worth, I agree with Matthew on this.

Ask a Man who owns one....




When I first bought mine I wondered what that odd 'bracket' up front was for.
Several months after I brought the car home- I got an envelope from the prior owner.
It contained all the paperwork he and his Father (the original owner) had on the car.
One item was a copy of this 'manual' showing proper use of the jack.

Look close- the bracket mentioned is there~

I am missing whatever the piece is, that holds the jack tight inside the Trunk on the Driver Side on the 58 Packard Hawk, anyone have a Pic or part # handy ?

The Threaded, Square Shouldered Bolt is there and through the Bracket, but No mounting Hardware.

Does it say the Proper lifting point on the Rear ? Is it correct as Described in front of the Rear Tire into the leaf spring Bracket ?

Ah anyhow, here it is

I have a 1961 Hawk and have owned it since 1978. The jack was in the trunk and is the bumper (slip and break your leg) type. I have repainted it and store it properly but carry a frame hydraulic jack . Having said that, and hoping Matt is reading this …if someone were to reproduce the jacking instructions for my car I would gladly pay a good price for that paper. I'm a bit of a purist, and the more I can acquire the happier I am.
