I wonder why Studebaker engineers felt the need to use a 3EE battery in the first place? …. They had no problem fitting a common Group 24 type battery into the later ‘square light’ Avanti models!

For those of you that have a copy of the latest Avanti Magazine (#207) there seems to be something missing from the gold ‘63 Avanti being unloaded from the cargo plane… Can anyone spot ‘it’??

I thought this was an interesting question…. John Meyer has more on this topic in the latest Avanti Magazine!

Good information… could you give me a ‘ballpark’ idea of what Power Brake Exchange charges for a brake booster rebuild? (less shipping!)

Just trying to be compassionate to an obviously troubled man… Good luck Bob

Best not answer any more of my trivia questions Bob…. Perhaps you could take up knitting?

I feel bad about thinking you’re whacked, when It’s become pretty obvious you’re having trouble understanding questions… probably the onset of dementia.

Just looking for model year here… not other info… this highlights that you’re having trouble understanding questions. Sad!

Whacko!!!!!

And regnalbob…. When you quote someone at least try to get the quote right… OK?

Exactly correct!!

QUOTE…..The replacement manual antenna, AC3330R, $25, sticks up about 2” above the top of the quarter panel and can be extended out to 16 1/2” length like the original AC3330….. This quote is from Dan Booth’s recent antenna article in Avanti Magazine # 207. regnalbob…. As you seem to enjoy correcting people, perhaps you should take up this question with Mr. Booth?

No thoughts on this Avanti Trivia question?

Hi Dwight…. Two ‘64 Studebaker Avantis?.. VERY COOL!! The info I posted on Stude Avanti extended antenna length came from an article by Dan Booth at Nostalgic Avanti….. I do not have an original antenna on my own ‘63, so I can’t take an accurate measurement….. According to Dan’s article, answer # 3 would be the correct answer.

As per Studebaker Avanti shop manual, the white wire is part of the body ground circuit supplying a ground to optional rear speaker.

Why does the gasoline in the fuel tank of a ‘64 Studebaker Avanti become warmer as you drive?

No thoughts on this one?

A 10” difference ? Are they Studebaker Avantis with AC 3330 factory radio antennas?

Any other guesses here?

Correct answer is answer #2… Six vehicles…. If that doesn’t sit well with regnalbob, he should probably express his concerns to Mr. Cote…. Perhaps regnalbob can convince Mr Cote that seven 5 speed manual transmission 1985 Avantis were built…. Let us know how you make out regnalbob!

Sorry, I do not dabble in hearsay!

Sorry, wrong answer!

When fully extended, an original Stude Avanti antenna mast extends to approx …..?…… inches. 1) 14 3/4…..2) 15 1/2…..3) 16 1/2…. or…..4) 17 1/4

Power radio antennas first became available on Avanti ll’s built in model year …..?….? 1) 1967…..2) 1968……3) 1969…..or…..4) 1970

According to Lou Cote, who along with Al Basile co-wrote the Avanti Authenticity Guide and Addendum, pegs the number of five speed manual 1985 Avantis at SIX…His 1985 Avanti, RQB 4240, is one of them!
