Custom and Packard Executive. All other Studebakers produced
in 1956, including the other Hawk models, came equipped with

a supercharged Studebaker 289 cubic inch engine. An

cubic inch engine.

and dual 4 barrel carburetors. Horsepower for the Caribbean was rated at 310. No 1956 Golden
Hawks came from the factory with dual 4 barrel carburetors and/or the 374 cubic inch engine.
