Those are your words…not mine! And it was you that criticized the Nostalgic Avanti ad! Cheer up Bob… life’s too short for this kind of behavior! 😦

No need to apologize Bob… and once again, it’s really nice that you’re back in action!!🤭

Wow!….Regnalbob is wound up today!!!!

I miss Sears too… Hard to believe a company that big could ‘bite the dust’.

Yes I do… The author of this ad is very highly respected in the Avanti world. But let me say it’s great to have you back and paying attention!

Suggest you take a look at your ‘64 Studebaker AC3548 Transistor Ignition spec sheet…..This will calm your fears Bob!

Although it’s debatable, who is generally credited with the ‘square headlight’ idea for the ‘64 model year Studebaker Avantis? 1) John Ebstein….2) Robert Doehler……3) Gene Winfield…. or …..4) Thomas Kellogg

Ray Loewy is CORRECT!

The correct answer to this question (Bob Andrews) can be found on page 13 in Avanti Magazine #76! As the writer is still alive and hopefully well, I’m sure you understand that I do not have permission to post his name…. Once again, the magazine will put you on the right path!

You forgot the ‘Skybolt Six’ …. A nice little engine!

My guess would be Sears-Allstate tires.

On the road now …However, will get you the info later tonight!

Which of the following Studebaker Avanti designers came up with the ‘gunsight’ on the hood idea? 1) Ray Loewy….2) Tom Kellogg….3) John Ebstein…..or……4) Bob Andrews

Another well known Stude expert gives credit to Bob Andrews for the Avanti wheelcover restyle…I’m going with Andrews on this one!

No other thoughts here?

If you’re fortunate, there may be an Avanti enthusiast near your future ‘find’ that’s willing to evaluate the car for you.

Available on 6 cyl.

Can I go home now??

Many old time Studebaker owners did prefer the 3 speed o/d trans over the ‘straight’ 3 speed, or even the four speed. (Myself included) However, the T-86 was certainly less robust than the four speed, and the non- Syncro first gear was nothing to brag about!

I also would have said Mercedes…Dwight is ‘deep’ indeed!

Actually, this statement is false!

Sorry Dwight, it wasn’t Mr. Doehler

(This question is reposted elsewhere as a new AVANTI TRIVIA question)

The original ‘63 Studebaker Avanti wheelcover which, of course, was based on the ‘53 Stude full wheelcover, was redesigned for the Avanti (with additional stampings & graphics) by designer……?…… 1) Bob Doehler…..2) Tom Kellogg…..3) Raymond Loewy….or…4) Bob Andrews

Absolutely!!!!
