 Definition of Studebaker
In 1926, Studebaker became the first automobile manufacturer in the United States to open a controlled outdoor proving ground; in 1937 the company planted 5,000 pine trees in a pattern that when view by passing airplanes spelled STUDEBAKER.
However ballooning labor costs (the company had never had an official United Auto Workers (UAW) strike and Studebaker workers and retirees were among the highest paid in the industry) coupled with quality control issues and the new car war between Ford and General Motors in the early 1950s turned Studebaker's balance sheet.
Studebaker's cash position was far worse then it led Packard to believe and in 1958 the nearly bankrupt automaker brought in a management team from aircraft maker Curtis-Wright to help get it back on its feet.

 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Owners Register Full Coverage The Wheelcover Story
Since Studebaker assigned their accessory codes (AC-nnnn) in sequence, it would follow that the prototype wheelcover was being considered after the standard wheelcover was developed and prior to the introduction of the spoke type.
Studebaker also supplied a Factory Dealer Announcement dated February 21, 1956 coded by the factory as "S84 (2-21-56)" which introduced the new Spoke Type wheel disc.
Whatever Studebaker's motive, I think most car restorers and hobbyists, feel that options which were not available at the time the car was produced are not authentic.

 Re: "Studebaker Showdown: Speedster vs Golden Hawk"
How accurate the authors will be is one thing to worry about, as Studebaker has many facts assocuiated with it, that have no foundation of truth.
The mere fact that Hemmings picked Studebaker, and two of the most sort after models to do a story on, indicates that they are writting to their market, and their market has asked for info on Studebaker.
I know that there will be a number out there who would still like our distinguished anonimitty, but while the average owner of a Studebaker is up there in age, the average age of the competition is at least 10 to 20 years younger, with a higher disposable income.

Studebaker baute Modelle, die den durchschnittlichen Amerikaner ansprachen und seinen Bedarf an Mobilität decken konnten.
Studebakers Finanzsituation war wesentlich schlechter, als es Packard glauben machen wollte und 1958 brachte der fast bankrupte Automobilhersteller deshalb ein Management-Team vom Flugzeugbauer Curtis-Wright in das Unternehmen.

Some hand drawn notes that I scanned regarding the wiring of the tach used on the '55 Speedster and some '56-61 Hawks, also known as the Stewart Warner "Pulse Drive.".
The '55 Speedster uses a different tach head, with a different face (the 56-61 unit is shown above) and is 6V unlike all other Studebakers that use the SW tach.
The sender that I've used for these pics is from a 1956 Golden Hawk (Packard engine, Autolite distributor) but the Studebaker (Delco) sending units believe are identical with the sole exception of the big tan plastic housing.
