RE: New Chrysler Corp. commercial

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

>From the Wikipedia Encyclopedia. Notice the last sentence:

The Studebaker Golden Hawk was a two-door pillarless hardtop coupe type 
car produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana 
between 1956 and 1958. The Golden Hawk took the basic shape of the 
1953-on Champion/Commander Starliner hardtop coupe but added a large, 
almost vertical eggcrate grille and raised hoodline in place of the 
earlier car's swooping, pointed nose, as well as a raised trunklid and 
befinned rear quarters.

That grille and raised hood were to take a larger engine, Packard's big 
352 in³ (5.8 L) V8 at 275 bhp (205 kW). This big, powerful engine in 
such a light car gave the Golden Hawk a phenomenal power-to-weight ratio 
(and thus performance) for the time; of 1956 American production cars, 
the Golden Hawk was second only to Chrysler's 300 B by that measure - 
and the expensive Chrysler was a road-legal NASCAR racing car. The 
Golden Hawk can be considered, like the Chryslers, a precursor to the 
muscle cars of the 1960s
