Studebaker Avantis use a 'Saginaw' steering gear box.....True?
-
There are fourteen 'race load springs' in the 'SN' style Paxton Supercharger, as used by Studebaker....True?
-
Some of the early Studebaker Avantis had a problem with incorrectly adjusted windshield wiper linkage. This condition, if not corrected, would show itself up as stress cracks around the left wiper pivot....True?
-
I'll say true.
IIRC, A couple of things happen mechanically when the key is turned to on but the start wiring is activated through the switch in the column lower area.

TRUE...is correct!

Well, the answer to this question is FALSE, Cafarro's Avanti had unusual composite headlamps installed into an even more unique 'bubbled out' fiberglass nose panel. I wonder where this special Avanti is today?

You guys must have missed this one!
-
No opinions here?
-
Good points all!...but who had more exuberance than Andy Granatelli?....and that's the man who uttered the above quote!

Good detective work!...Answer true...no rear spoiler.

You techs out there surely have encountered this one!

No one out there in Avantiland remembers this one-off Avanti?

The answer here is.....TRUE!

OK it wasn't said by Egbert...Now who could it be?..Hmmmmm!

No opinions on this one?

Gunslinger & brad pretty much got this one. Answer would be NO..(on the 'Vette)...Expected competition at the time was the Ford Thundebird and the Buick Riviera. (I get GlennW's point, but the Corvette, being a two passenger car, really puts it into a different class.) Avanti83 'iced' it!

No they are 2" wide, and differnt offset. Front drums are 2 1/4 " wide
Sorry...but the answer is....TRUE!
-
More like double that!
Have to say that's not correct brad.
-
brad's correct here. I'm not sure if '87 was the last (opening) year.....but all '89 coupes had fixed 1/4 windows.
-
The rear brake drums on Studebaker Avantis will interchange with the front drums used on '54-'64 drum brake V8 Hawk models.....True?
-
The Avanti's main domestic competition in 1963 was the Ford Thunderbird and the Chevrolet Corvette.....True?
-
The Studebaker Avanti's R2 engine was a $330. option....True?
-
1989 was the last year an opening rear 1/4 window was used in the Avanti coupe.....True?
-
Rear end under the bumper had cut outs for the rear spring shackles.
Exactly!

Boy, that's a tough one. I worked for the ad agency and don't remember what the cover said, but I do remember the color of the car. Do you?
Just a guess from an old picture......was the New York Avanti white?
