    Avanti Brand!

    Well, you are CORRECT!…..(but you really couldn’t lose on this one… as Wix is also correct!!)
  3. In 1963, Studebaker sourced the oil filter for their ‘new’ Avanti from the ….?…. company. 1) Wix…. or…..2) Hastings

    Avanti Galoshes!

    The front fascia on this GTR model, in my opinion, REALLY looks BAD!

    You’re very close, but not quite ‘there’!

    Avanti Filters!

    Apparently the AC3311 Studebaker oil filters were painted 3 different colors….. 1) Black 2) Red 3) Red & White Rumor has it that most Stude Avantis left the factory with the Black version.

    Avanti Galoshes!

    I hope this trivia question didn’t offend owners of composite bumper Avantis …. I own one myself (85), and in its own way I believe it does have a more modern look than the chrome bumper types…. To each his/her own!!

    Avanti Galoshes!

    Good thought… but not “it”!
  15. In a period automotive magazine, the writer of an article about the ‘84 Avanti opinioned that something on the car looked like “galoshes on a ballet dancer” What was the ‘something’ he was referring to?

    R3 Numbers!

    VERY dated info…. and, as I suspected, no ‘B1’. ….. get back to us when you have more current information.

    Any ‘bites’ here?

    Good “ final” answer…. CORRECT!

    R3 Numbers!

    Info was printed in Avanti Magazine, Issue # 172… It stated that ‘B9’ was/is the first ‘B’ R3 engine number…. A noted Avanti historian and AOAI board member stated this……. Don’t shoot the messenger Bob… and, as I’ve told you many times in the past…. substantiate your assertions.

    R3 Numbers!

    If regnalbob’s info is correct, perhaps ‘B9’ was the first R3 engine used in a production Avanti?

    R3 Numbers!

    According to the late Al Basile (Avanti Authenticity Guide), Avanti R3 Paxton engine numbers began with ‘B9’….. Although regnalbob’s statement contradicts this, for now B9 will be accepted as the answer.

    Stude Stopping!

    A good answer, however not the correct answer Stacey! Other thoughts here?

    R3 Numbers!

    OK that’s interesting… perhaps Brad Bez or Nels can shed some light on this?
