    Careful Biggs, I'm not sure it's what you are used to.

      No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.

          Mr. Biggs. I tend to disagree with you about the 1965 GT Hawk prototype car due to the fact that it's in my posession, in my garage,and in my lttle town. I am the current owner and I know for sure that when I last changed the spark plugs I only had to remove 8 and I counted eight holes,and eight plug wires, and eight lobes on the distributor cam. Thus the reason for me going to A.Zone and buying 8 plugs. I doub't it was manufactured as a 12 cyllinder.It has the standard size Hawk hood and I doubt a Packard 12 would fit under it lengthwise. It is as it came from the factory to me by the grace of Joe Bortz. Famous auto collector. You are probably speaking of the Brazilian built prototype. And "Gordr." Very good point you raised about the voltage issue. Maybee the Studillac used 55 Caddy engines. I don't know what year the cars were refitted. They were however 53-54 model Studebakers. Can someone tell us all what years the Studillacs were produced. Let's get to the bottom of this resistory-mystery. Help someone!! This is getting good. Come on J.D.P I feel as though you may be witholding information. Richard Quinn, could you perhaps help us with this discussion? jimmijim

                Richard Quinn. That was a most excellent response that you have presented us with. I thank you for your participation and accurate chronology of all the facts provided. I had asked for discussion on the subject only because I knew very little about the Studillac. We are much more informed now. jimmijim 1965 GT HAWK LOS ANGELES PLANT PROTOTYPE.
