Studebaker Identification

[jrj2]

Good morning,    I have a '57 Studebaker Hawk (beautiful cars) and it has the 7 digit Serial Number (before V.I.N.'s). I am attempting to positively identify this car and not having lots of luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It might help if you post the serial number here...

 

Also post the body tag on the firewall.

There is no tag on the firewall.

Look on the passenger side of the firewall near the RH hood hinge for a small tag that possibly reads, '57B C3', or '57G C3'.

The entire engine compartment of this car has been undercoated. It is difficult to tell if there is a tag underneath. Should it be a square tag with rounded edges directly beneath the over hanging support for the hood hinge?  I expect this plate should be riveted on?  I don't want to start scraping off the undercoating if the tag is not there.

The serial # is 7206238. Does this help any aside of the year and where it came from?

The tag should look similar in shape and size to the one posted here:  56 Flight Hawk hardtop, #56G-K7 - Studebaker Drivers Club Forum     (Post #8)

Thanks for the info!  This one does not have that tag. Other stampings on the car that I can search for?
