I likes these artistic interpretations, but the small rear seats of the Hawks would have been impractical in sedan/wagon form without total replacement of the entire cabin shell. I have a hunch the wheelbase on these concepts would have been well over 120 inches. Whew! But it might have been worth it for Studebaker's survival.

If only S-P had had the money to develop those beauties! But 1958 was a tough year for the industry.

Too bad these weren't developed; I think they would have sold well.
