Well, they must be able to afford it… and I’ve heard that caskets do not have pockets!!!!!

If you need a diff cover gasket, an RDS # 6629 will do the trick!

A ‘National’ #5778 will do the trick!

I think an events location (and your location) has much to do with the practicality of attending.

Good info… May work as long as front springs are up to snuff!

Thanks for the pics!…. Ixnay on the ‘17” wheels, which are a ‘fad’ thing (IMHO), which spoil the look of ‘60’s collector cars….. Also, I would think fender clearance up front would negate the idea anyway….. Kudos to you for being inventive though!! PS…. Your idea might work by using tires with a super low profile… I saw a ‘61 Corvette set up like that….. To each his own I guess!!

I use Mercron lll in all!!

At the time, I believe Avanti Motors was especially concerned about the intense heat created by the addition of catalytic converters.

Good move on the mild 350…. And the detail work is really outstanding!

Factory tried that on Altman-Blake era Avanti ll’s.

“Paint?” works on this one Mark! Loewy considered two-tone paint schemes to also be ‘applied elegance’.

You’re close enough on this one Mark.. Trunk space had to be sacrificed (or traded) to make what began as a two passenger concept into a four passenger car. (rear seat area) Well done!

I think that author worked in the Studebaker PR department!!!

SECOND HINT….Is an exposed spare tire really that important?

SECOND HINT….. Picasso

Well done!!!

HINT!….. Not Loewy!

HINT… were transporting families sometimes!

Good guess… but no! HINT !…. What can be applied to a new car once the design has been approved and assembled?

You ‘nailed it’ with ‘excess chrome’!, However, the second item wasn’t a grille.… Although we do know that for the Avanti project Loewy did not want to see a conventional grille on the car. Any other thoughts on that second item of ‘applied elegance’ ??

Call Dave Thibeault…his tel # is… 978 897 3158

What are two good examples of what Raymond Loewy considered to be “applied elegance” in car design ? (Styling treatments he strongly disliked)

Concerning the (then) continuing development of the Studebaker Avanti body design, what was Raymond Loewy speaking of when he referred to “space trading” ?

Regarding designing the Studebaker Avanti… Which member of the design team commented about doing this work in the New York office…..”Too many friends reach you too easily in this office… It’s fine, but we had to get the job done” ? 1) John Ebstein….2) Robert Andrews…. 3) Thomas Kellogg…..or…..4) Raymond Loewy

This is a very good deal… I priced a new Hurst Comp Plus shifter & kit for a Studebaker Avanti five years ago, and was told $700-$800 (just for the shifter & kit)
