So what's so special about Studebaker Avanti 63R-1024?

It was the last Avant assembled/built in June 1962 (the first month of production).  

That probably isn't what you are seeking.  How about when the method of attaching the rear window changed, that was fairly early on.

Good info Gary, however, you are correct that it isn't what we're looking for here.:(

HINT....Think first owner of this Avanti!:)

I'm guessing the first owner was Rodger Ward.

Good guess but no, the first owner wasn't Rodger.:(

You GOT IT!:D........Apparently, Andy's dad repainted the car what's been described as a "hideous green" color!:o

In c.1974, I purchased a 1963 Avanti from the original owner.  He was a known TV personality.  He had repainted his turquoise Avanti in a chocolate brown.
