(This question is reposted elsewhere as a new AVANTI TRIVIA question)
-
The original ‘63 Studebaker Avanti wheelcover which, of course, was based on the ‘53 Stude full wheelcover, was redesigned for the Avanti (with additional stampings & graphics) by designer……?…… 1) Bob Doehler…..2) Tom Kellogg…..3) Raymond Loewy….or…4) Bob Andrew’s
-
Absolutely!!!!
-
Gorgeous car…. only visual issue I have with these Avanti converts (and the coupes also) is that the ‘fit’ of the rear wheels in the quarter panel openings never looks quite right. (to me anyway)
-
That’s Correct!….’Vanna’
-
X 2 !
-
OK….. that’s a good one!!!!!
-
Studebaker’s Transistor Ignition was standard equipment in 1964 on R3 & R4 equipped models, and optional on other (non 6 cyl) models….True?
-
The Avanti that was to be given away as a prize and displayed on the ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ TV Show was a model year ….?…. model. 1) 1987…..2) 1988……3) 1989…..or……4) 1990

Another oddity concerning 63R1319… In the 2019 AOAI Roster, two owners are listed for this Avanti… In two different States…. Indiana & Alabama!!!!!

Can the GM turbo400 transmission be removed without pulling the engine?

Great news Jim!! -
Yes they were Dwight… but that isn’t the oddity on 63R1319. SO!…… The odd feature on this Avanti was … a THREE SPEED WITH OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION !! I’d certainly guess installed after this Avanti R2 was built…. But that’s how 63R1319 was advertised for sale!
-
That is interesting… I’d guess someone mistook a 1 for a 2 TWICE!! I have no idea where that PO# you mention can be found on Stude Avantis…. However, I’d like to know!!

I’ve seen serial number hand written on inner door (upholstery removed) Is that what you mean by production number?
