After the application of the final exterior paint coating, Studebaker Avantis were sent through a baking oven......?.......

1) Side by side using two lanes.......or.......2) In line, one behind the other

I would believe side by side would result in temp variations and capital expense increases so I say in-line. 

 

Sorry no,:(........ Studebaker Avantis went through the paint baking oven side-by-side!

I believe you but do have any pictures of the setup? Seems inefficient at first blush.

Yes!:)....If you go onto Bob Johnstones Stude info website and look for the 1/63 letter written by E.J. Hardig and M.P. de Blumenthal to the Society Of Automotive Engineers, you'll find some interesting black and white Avanti assy. photos..... including one showing two Avantis side by side exiting the paint baking oven at Studebaker.

Avanti IIs were switched over to one at a time.

Avanti ll production being so low two lines no doubt became unnecessary.
