I doubt if there’s enough ‘60’s, ‘70’s, ‘80’s, or even ‘90’s cars being driven regularly enough to even be concerned about the emissions they produce…. Also,…..collector vehicles are generally kept in very good states of tune which helps some.
-
Perhaps instead of complaining, you could volunteer to help?
-
Yes exactly…. Basically the power steering ratio 16-1 steering box… without the power steering! Just slightly ‘lighter’ steering, due to not having to steer through a ‘dead’ ram, as one has to do with a disabled power steering system.
-
Yes, Clarke was the division!
-
Power steering was installed In Avanti R5642 (second to last Avanti produced), several years after it was built….. What made this Studebaker Avanti particularly difficult to steer ‘as built’?
-
Late in 1963, a subsidiary of Studebaker Corp. began a national contest for their salesmen… The salesman that sold the most of their product would win a new Studebaker Avanti…Which division of Studebaker was this? 1) Onan Generators…. 2) Chemical Compounds…..3) Clarke Floor Machine…..or …..4) Paxton Products
-
Yep… You got it!!
-
Two it was Dwight!!
-
Good answer… however not 3!
-
That’s what I thought.. however, we were wrong!
-
In May of 1962, Studebaker brought…..?….. of their new Avantis to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to be used for pre race activities on and off the track. 1) One…..2) Two…..3) Three….or…..4) Four
-
True…. VERY THANKFULLY!!!!!
-
I’d guess the Granatellis brought at least a dozen extra Paxton superchargers with them (for backup insurance)when they set out to break Bonneville records with Studebakers in 1963!

Beautiful car.

I get your ‘dig’…. however, at least I was willing to try….. Perhaps YOU should put your money where your mouth is a give the job a try yourself?? Be well!
