A period of ….?…. years had elapsed between the times a new Studebaker Avanti, and later a new Avanti ll had been displayed at the New York ‘New Car’ Auto Show. 1) Two….2) Three….3) Four….or….4) Five

What does ‘70R3’ relate to when discussing Studebaker Avantis?
-
Wondering if any of you Avanti/Stude fans out there might have a spare ‘underfloor’ heater core? (Hawk type, ‘53-‘62)…… I could use the length, width, and height measurements of one of these heater cores… Thanks, Ed
-
Yes!…. Besides a change made to the center emblem… it was the very same wheelcover Stude used for years.
-
That’s it exactly!….. Checker had the $$$$ to have that crucial part made… Something which I highly doubt Newman-Altman could have, at the time, get done.

What Studebaker related Item did Checker Motors obtain after Stude auto production was halted to give their cabs a different, more modern look? 1) Hood ornaments….2) Steering wheels….3) Door handles….or….4) Wheelcovers
-
Hmmmm….chrome paint…Attempted for years, but never completely successful ! This product?… Who knows??
-
Good point…. But there is a Checker ‘item’ ….I’m pretty sure that you’ll agree with, that REALLY got the ball rolling!
-
That’s what we’ve heard…However, I would not call that the reason Checker Motors was beneficial in the startup of Avanti Motors. Other thought on this brain twister??
-
No Checker fans out there??
-
If you say so bubba!!

-
Two different race Larks…. Two different owners…..Two similar engines….. I’m confused… however that is nothing new! I guess the answer to this trivia question is ‘Open To Interpretation’ !!

Why was Checker Cab Company a ‘lifesaver’ for the fledgling Avanti Motor Company in 1965?

Interesting!
