Good article, overall.

The only clarification needed is the 259 was the only V8 engine available on the entire 1959 passenger car line, and the last year a six cylinder was available in North American market Hawks. And in 1960 through to the end, the 289 was standard on all domestic market Hawks. (There were 224 six-cylinder 1964 models built and mainly sold in Europe: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...awk-in-Belgium )

Thank you very much for this clarification. I should have fact checked myself re the 259 in the '59 models.
