Studebaker had a brief but prolific period of offering superchargers on its cars, the first being the Golden Hawk. In 1957 and 1958, the Golden Hawk was Studebaker’s top dog in price, sportiness and performance, and as such, it was equipped with a McCulloch supercharger as standard equipment atop its Studebaker 289-cid V-8. Superchargers would become optional on several Studebaker passenger cars in the 1960s, but would you believe there were two Studebaker trucks built with superchargers?
