Very interesting, and I would not doubt that this one is an original… however there are several very nice reproductions which have been made over the years.

Tough question, as lately it seems like collector car selling prices in general are down. Of course, there’s always exceptions!

Nice car….. Nice photos!

BTW… Only my opinion, but I feel ‘round light’ Stude Avantis look more ‘aggressive’ with the scoop area left open! (grille less) ‘Square light’ Stude Avantis look, to me, more normal if the factory grille is in place.

should I add grease zerks to the front sway bar supports?

No grease fittings needed here. -
Some like the ‘look’ of the factory stainless steel grille on these cars…. To me, its real importance is radiator core protection.

I believe that SI sells both types.

SI has them in reproduction

Youse got it!!

The BCA 203FF sealed ball bearing plays a critical role in supercharged Studebaker Avantis….. Where is it located on/in the car?

Studebaker ‘borrowed’ the inner chromed headlamp rims, found inside the outer glass lens of their ‘round light’ Avantis from the ……?…… 1) 1960 Lark…..2) 1958 Packard Hawk…..3) 1949 Commander…..or……4) 1954 ‘R’ series Pickup Truck

I used black window screening held in place with wire ties looped through factory unused holes in the radiator core support… Not too pretty, but basically invisible, and it does give good protection to the (now quite expensive) radiator core!

Hi Peter… I received issue #211 a couple weeks ago.

Yes I made up a ‘radiator protector’… as you describe… for my own ‘grill less’ ‘63.
