Reader Profile: 1956 Studebaker Sky Hawk

Thanks to Studebaker Guide reader, P.L., for sending me this great write up and photograph of his beautiful '56 Studebaker Sky Hawk.

"My 1956 Studebaker Sky Hawk is only one of 66 remaining registered un the US of the original 3,050 built. It has the rebuilt Studie 289 4-barrel engine with the B/W Flight-O-Matic 3-speed automatic. This is a numbers-matching car which is totally original/restored, or has authenitc replacement parts. The restoration was completed here on Long Island, NY in 2009, and since has been meticulously maintained by me, and repaired and upgraded by classic car mechanical and body specialists in Southampton, LI. It is a multiple AACA and other club award winner, and has been profiled in Old Cars Weekly, Newsday, and Turning Wheels magazine."

Thanks again, P.L.!
