The parking brake switch could be faulty, or out of adjustment… or wire may have bad contact at proportioning valve.

A ‘64 Studebaker Avanti was displayed there, then the ‘68 Avanti ll was next in line.

Good, because there was only one guess remaining. So '62 and '66?

Four is the number!

The brake light on the dash between the speedometer and tac has decided to come on. Reservoir is full. Brake pedal good. Is there a sensor on the proportioning valve or maybe a bad switch on the emergency brake handle? Thanks, Mike

Would aluminum foil work as well?

Four

Yes!…Good thinking!!

Brake fluid…equivalent to today’s DOT 3.

No ideas on this? (easy one!)

Not three Dwight!

Three

Sorry no, not five!

😊

My pleasure!…: Engineering that bellhousing had to be pricey!

I take back some of the bad things I thought about Checker.

Five

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

Wow, that's a bit of history I had never seen before. Thanks for posting the question.

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.

Wheelcovers

Checker supplied the bell housing to adapt the Powershift transmission to the GM V-8.
