The East Bay Studebaker Hawk

from Michael Moore in Calif. : "Well damn, it IS so cold here a person has to put on a [light] jacket over their sweatshirt to walk comfortably along the water in the morning, but by afternoons, t-shirt weather, a guy can ride his bike around town and turn up stuff like this..." MSM
I'm pretty sure it's a Hawk and it certainly is a handsome car, but I don't know these well enough to nail the year. We were wrong on yesterday's Packard Hawk: it is a '58 not a '56. Help, please.
