Thanks for posting this as it brings in new details that more fully explain the thought process of the designers... -
Like many such stories written by non Studebaker knowledgeable people, this is a well written and well meaning Group of articles with a Lot of accurate Studebaker History and also has the "Standard" amount of errors.
Actually quite a few. The writer did come up with a lot of information about Brooks Stevens, that IF it is true, was not previously known as far as I know.
One thing that stood out to me was apparently indicating that the 289 was developed new for the '62 GT Hawk from the 259, the 304.5 R3 & R4 were "Stroked" 289's and getting several details mixed up between the '62 and '63/'64 GT Hawk Models, Vinyl Tops, '64 Door Panels etc.
Also getting the McCullough and Paxton Superchargers mixed up saying '63's had McCullough Superchargers, instead of acknowledging that it was the "SN-60 Paxton" made by the Paxton Products Division of Studebaker Corp.
But as someone will probably say: "who cares, ANY Publicity is Good Publicity"!
