SECTION 2 - Exterior
AC-2728 Side View Mirror
Mirrors, Outside Rear View
The parts book lists three mirrors, AC-2728, AC-2836, and AC-
2861 for 1953 through 1957. AC-2728 appeared on the original
production orders for 44 cars (photo 7).
Neither AC-2836 nor AC-2861 appeared on any original
production orders. There was an emblem on the back of mirror
AC-2861 which contained the Studebaker crest similar to that
used on the hubcap and horn button. All the mirrors numbered
AC-28nn were not for 1956 models.
This item was usually sent with the car, but not installed. Probably many dealers sold a customer
a mirror from their existing stock which may or may not have been one of the mirrors shown here.

Mouldings, Curb and Wheel Well
There are three wide curb mouldings which
run from the rear of the front wheel well,
across the bottom of the door, to the front of
the rear wheel well. There is a right and left
side for the front and rear piece, but the door
moulding is the same for either side. The moulding does not mount on the rocker panel, but
rather, is even with the bottom edge of the door.
All 1956 Golden Hawks came equipped with stainless steel wheel well
mouldings.
