That is an outstanding advertisement!...I still have the one I picked up at my local Studebaker dealer SOOO many years ago!
By the way, what does "Island In The Sun" refer to?
-
No guesses here?
-
Another outstanding issue! (issue #177)...I especially liked the write up and photos of last November's Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show!
The show crew wore shirts replicating the '63 Studebaker/Granatelli Bonneville effort.....which was definitely a nice touch!
I'd love to eventually read 'in depth' stories (with MANY photos) of the #8 & #9 Bonneville Avantis, as well as the HRM '64 R3 Daytona road test car!!

Binders was common at that time, but I do not remember if Studebaker used that term.
You nailed it Gary....Studebaker called them 'Disc Binders'!

Actually Paul, I think that they did wet sand the other lines as part of the painting process...I'm not 100% sure, but for now I'll say....Answer...No!
My fault...I did mean wet sanding the primer...and I should have specified that!

This is also the case with the '87-'88 Avanti-Carlos. The Monte Carlo rear section was cut (not sure how much). How do I know / how did I find out? One day I went to a Trailer Hitch place and told them to put a Monte Carlo hitch on - they came back and advised me of the missing needed rear portion!

That's interesting Bill!

What MAJOR item in a Studebaker Avanti's brake system is a perfect interchange with the corresponding part in a '69 Dodge Daytona's brake system?

You certainly do have to remove some rear rail I just can't remember how much.
Now the question is whether 8 inches is to much or not. I will go with true but with no conviction.

Sounds like you've done this job before but, like me, a while ago!!
The answer here is FALSE, more like 4" have to be cut off of each rail!

In the small world of genuine R3-4 Studebaker engines, why are engines B-78 & B-92 a little more unique than the others?
-
A slogan used in an 'Avanti era' Studebaker advertisement was....Sun, Sea, & .............?
-
In order for the Lark convertible frame to accommodate an Avanti body, 8" had to be removed from each of the frame's rear rails.......True?
-
One part of the factory painting process for Studebaker Avantis was a thorough wet sanding. Was wet sanding unique to the Avantis, (as opposed to other Stude cars), due to the fiberglass body and the use of lacquer paint?
-
In an 'Avanti era' Studebaker ad, what was the SLANG term Studebaker called their Avanti's 'new' disc brakes?
-
Any thoughts on this question?

Gotta love AVANTIS!!

I will guess false.
I think the designers were after a clean look .

I agree on wanting the 'clean look',......... but the answer here is TRUE!
