The efforts made to update the 1962 Hawk cannot be renewed every year for cash-stranded Studebaker. Hence, this year’s car is unchanged, apart from some minor trim alterations. Still, some mechanical improvements taken from the new Avanti are offered as options: power brakes and “R1” (240 hp) and supercharged “R2” (289 hp) engines are the most important among them.
