Thank you for your interest in the 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Owners Register. I hope the following information will answer most of your questions.
I started the Owners Register in January 1989 for the purpose of helping other 1956 Golden Hawk owners and to try to identify the remaining 1956 Golden Hawks. I require each owner to send the serial number (from the driver door post) and body number (from the firewall on the passenger side) for each 1956 Golden Hawk he/she owns. This is also the cost of membership or dues. I publish a periodic newsletter, called 56J ONLY every 4 months (Feb, June and November), with information and questions supplied by other members.
Often I receive letters from non owners requesting membership. There is no actual membership. What I have is simply a list of people who own at least one 1956 Golden Hawk..Since I am paying the cost of printing and postage for the newsletter, I have had to limit the distribution to OWNERS only. However, ALL the back issues of the newsletter are posted on the web site, so anyone with web access can view, download, and/or print them. Simply click on Newsletters on the Options page.
To help cover some my costs, I offer various manuals, CDs, DVDs, decals, patches, and other items for sale a low prices. See "56J Publications and Products" on the web site for more information.I also receive letters from individuals who wish to buy a 1956 Golden Hawk. Most of our members are pretty happy with their cars but there are times someone will put one up for sale. Some times they do run across another car that is for sell and you might be able to get one this way. I will be happy to put an ad, at no charge to you, in the Newsletter for you and maybe something will turn up. The newsletter is only done three times a year, so it could be up to four months before your ad appears. I will also put your ad on this web site, so anyone with access can see your ad immediately.
If you are looking for a 1956 Golden Hawk, here are some things to watch for: the serial # on the driver's side door post MUST be either in the range of 6030001 - 6033472 (for cars produced in South Bend) or 6800001 - 6800601 (for cars assembled in Los Angeles). The body # (cowl, passenger side under the hood) MUST read 56J-K7 and have from 1 to 4 digits below in the range of 1 to 4073.
If you own a 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk, please provide the information, and send it to me. I must have the serial number as a minimum. You can use the on-line registration form.
