The original purchase order for an ‘81 Avanti would be available from Nostalgic Motors… That document would identify the exact color ( car make & paint code) for your car… plus much other information.
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.
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!!
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?
