FactThe cheapest of the four 1956 Hawks, the Flight Hawk is also the rarest survivor today — as of 2024, only 33 of the coupes are known to remain.
The Studebaker Flight Hawk (a Raymond Loewy design on the 1953 Champion two-door coupe) was the lowest-priced of the four 1956 Hawks, with the new hood, grille, deck lid and instrument panel and minimal chrome, and was the only Hawk without a V8: the Champion's 185.6 cu in (3.0 L) inline six, rated at 101 hp, with a three-speed manual, optional overdrive or three-speed Flight-O-Matic automatic. It was a two-door pillared coupe (model 56G-C3, list price $1,986; 4,389 built) plus 560 hardtops (56G-K7) built for export and Canada, for 4,949 in all, the second most popular Hawk (the Power Hawk sold 7,095).

The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
