SECTION 2 - Exterior
Hood Assembly
The hood on all 1956 Hawk models has a small
raised pod under the ornament. The raised area is
about 11-1/2" wide at the front edge and goes back
about 16".
A new hood was introduced for the 1957 and
later Hawk models. The raised area goes all
the way to the rear edge of the hood. This
same basic hood was used through the end of
Hawk production in 1964.
Because of the supercharger, the 1957 and 1958 Golden Hawks had a modified Silver Hawk
hood.
There was a hole in the center in order to accommodate the supercharger. This area was covered
with a louvered overlay which went all the way to the rear edge of the hood.
