American Performance: Top 20 Early Muscle Cars

  1. 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk

Studebaker as a car brand disappeared in 1966 after years of trying to stay relevant on the American market. But in mid-50’s, it was still one of the best names in the business with a lineup of interesting models. One of the best Studebakers they ever built was the elegant, fast 1956 Golden Hawk.

They conceived as a cool-looking personal luxury coupe. The Golden Hawk had a Packard-derived 352 V8 engine with 275 HP, which was impressive for the day. The performance was also significant with 0 to 60 mph acceleration times of less than nine seconds.
