Bowing in October 1955, the Hawk marked the end of the Loewy group’s involvement with the design that had made Studebaker the business’s fashion chief three years earlier. Retaining the 120.5-inch-wheelbase chassis and fundamental bodyshell of the 1953-1955 Starlight/Starliner, the Hawk stood in sharp contrast to Studebaker’s newly reskinned 1956 sedans and wagons, which still rode a 116.5-inch wheel base but seemed far bulkier and more conservative.

1. Anti-cavitation examine valve for cylinder ports-(R & L) protects steering circuit towards vacuum (cavitation) circumstances.
2. Cylinder Port Relief Valves-(R & L) protects hoses against stress surge created by floor forces on the steered axle.
3. Guide Steering Check Valve-converts unit to a hand operated pump for limited handbook steering. Included in all items except Series 20, 25, and 40.**
4. Inlet Relief Valve-limits maximum pressure drop throughout the steering unit protecting the steering circuit.
5. Inlet Examine Valve-prevents oil from returning by the steering unit when strain on the cylinder side is better than stress on the inlet facet to stop steering wheel kick.
6. LS-Relief Valve-Limits most stress in the steering circuit (LS units only)
The Tyrrell 025 was a fairly run-of-the-mill F1 car, although so far as automotive expertise goes, it was extremely advanced. The Tyrrell 025 had a carbon fiber body, V-eight engine (though competitors had V-10s) and a double wishbone suspension. It also had a reasonably undistinguished racing career, winning simply two points within the Monaco Grand Prix in 1997 [source: Racing-reference.data].
