289 Sweepstakes on Valve Covers ?

[62 Lark]

Good Morning, Can someone explain the sweepstakes writing on the valve covers of the 289 V-8 ? Thanks !

Look on page 9 of Studebaker International's catalog. They are pictured and the relevant years given.

If you don't have the catalogue it says: 1956 President and Sky Hawk. 1957-58 President and Golden Hawk.

Here is their website:

Click on Catalog and then Decals. A PDF file will download onto your computer. Open that and there are nice illustrations.

I notice, for the Sweepstakes 259, they state "for 1956 Commander & Power Hawk, and 1957-58 Commander and Silver Hawk."
Isn't that incorrect? 1957-58 Silver Hawks had 289 engines (not counting export).

Thanks to all that responded !

[StudeRich]

Were you asking to have it explained Why they say that? If so, it's easy, that is the NAME of the Engine, like the Econo-Miser" Six !

[RadioRoy]

Hmmm.... maybe CASOs could rename themselves Econo-Misers.

I am more familiar with GM, like Loadmaster, Thrift Master, Tonawanda, etc. Thanks !
