1963 GT Hawk and 1955 coupe.  Notice the tailpipes are much farther apart on the coupe.



Here's the 1955-57 style exhaust cutout on the gravel deflector (part no. 536828P.)  I believe that 535135P (single exhaust) is similar but only has one cutout on the passenger side.  No, those backup lights are not stock for any Studebaker - they're VW units.  I would assume that 535135P was also used on 1953 and 1954 models but I do not have that book to verify this.




Here's a '63 GT Hawk with the 1544602P gravel deflector.  I would assume that 1544601P is similar but again only has one cutout on the passenger side.  This would have been for six cylinder models only as as far as I know, all V8 C-K models after 1955 were equipped with dual exhausts.
