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

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!

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

My guess would be Sears-Allstate tires.

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!!!!

Gorgeous car…. only visual issue I have with these Avanti converts (and the coupes also) is that the ‘fit’ of the rear wheels in the quarter panel openings never looks quite right. (to me anyway)

That’s Correct!….’Vanna’

X 2 !

OK….. that’s a good one!!!!!

Studebaker’s Transistor Ignition was standard equipment in 1964 on R3 & R4 equipped models, and optional on other (non 6 cyl) models….True?

The Avanti that was to be given away as a prize and displayed on the ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ TV Show was a model year ….?…. model. 1) 1987…..2) 1988……3) 1989…..or……4) 1990
