56J
ONLY
The Periodic Publication of the 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Owners Register |
Our newsletter is printed and distributed three times a year (February, June, and October). Several of the most recent issues have been converted and uploaded to this site. Click on Newsletters here, or at the bottom of the page. Members are free to place ads, offer assistance, ask questions, and share their experience with these cars. The newsletter is titled 56J ONLY. Though meaningless to the casual observer, the newsletter name is quite significant to the 1956 Golden Hawk Owner. The first part is taken from the year of the car (56) and the engine designation (J). The second part (ONLY) is in response to a phrase that has become quite annoying to the owners of these cars. Though the car is a Studebaker, the engine is a 352 CID V8 built by Packard and was not used in any other Studebaker. Whenever Studebaker vendors advertise V8 engine parts for Studebakers, they always include the phrase "EXCEPT 56J, or EXCEPT 56 GH". This same phrase appears in the various parts catalogs also. Now, we have a club and a publication dedicated to just the one year, make and model and it is appropriately called 56J ONLY. |
