There is also a possibility that this car could be a finless 1957-59 Silver Hawk or a finless 1960-61 Hawk. Studebakers assembled in Belgium for the European market could be had with or without fins. In that case they used 1956 tail lights (on 1957-61 Hawks )which makes it hard to tell the differens between that and a 1956 C coupe. I used to own a finless Belgian built 1959 Silver Hawk.
