 EH> No,  That engine was ONLY in the early '53 coupes and hardtops.  The

 EH> There WERE no '53 Hawks, only hardtops and coupes. All were Raymond

Checking my references, the Hawk first appeared in '56, in "Flight Hawk",
"Power Hawk", "Shy Hawk" and "Golden Hawk" versions, but it was definitely
a "descendent" of the '53 "Lowey Coupe" Starliners.
FWIW, in 1958 there was even a PACKARD Hawk.
