Early "A" series Avanti ll's used marker lamps borrowed from the '68-'69 Datsun (Nissan) 510 sedan!
-
What external area of the Studebaker Avantis body was a mandatory concession to using the Studebaker Lark's chassis?
-
Before Studebaker's new Avanti was unveiled at the 1962 new car auto show in New York City, it sat for a few days on the auditorium floor under a cover that proclaimed "America's Most Advanced Automobile"...True?
-
Well, since Mr. Egbert was the "Father of the Avanti" he would say that, wouldn't he?
Sorry....Wrong answer!
-
Some did. Some didn't.
Sorry...Wrong answer!
-
Where is JJ today? (When we need him.)
Sorry....Wrong answer!

Agree...Studebaker would not have gone back to using the earlier shock absorbers (and earlier front shock mounts) Answer...FALSE.
-
Agree!...Changing to a thicker (and stiffer) rear sway bar without changing to a heavier front bar could be detrimental to the Avanti's handling...bad move!
-
On R3 Avantis, Studebaker used the same upper control arms with threaded steel inner bushings as used on '51-'52 Studebaker cars. But '51-'52 cars also used a LOWER control arm with threaded steel inner bushings. The reason Stude engineers opted not to use the '51-'52 lower control arm on R3 Avantis was due to not having enough of these earlier lower arms in stock.....True?
-
The center cap on a Magnum 500 wheel, as used on Avanti ll's, is retained by a unique 'twist-in' nut fastener....True?
-
The HD 3/4" replacement rear sway bar, offered by some of our vendors for Stude-framed Avantis, is not a good 'stand alone' installation....True?
-
True is correct!
-
False is correct! Stude said the Hawk was approx 8 mph faster than a comparable Lark.
-
A 'factory correct' Avanti R1 air filter housing will have a chromed top cover and a natural metal base....True?
-
Avanti bodies that were produced by the Molded Fiberglass Body Co. left there completely painted.....True?
-
Sherwood Egbert once proclaimed that the Avanti "Outhandles any other American car"....True?
-
Flat out, and all else being equal, a 1963 Lark equipped with the R2 engine is approx. eight miles per hour faster than a 1963 GT Hawk with the same engine.....True?
-
Power window motors used on 1987 Avantis are actually Chrysler replacement parts....True?
-
Correct!...The answer is TRUE.
-
The answer is actually.....FALSE! But it's sort of a trick question (apoligies) Factory service replacement blocks more often than not didn't come with an oil filter of any type. A block off plate covered the oil filter adapter mounting area and the engine would (will) run just fine that way. Or, the plate could be removed and replaced with the adapter, and a spin on filter could be installed.
-
All 1964 Studebaker V8's came equipped with spin on oil filters....True?
-
Plastic headlamp covers were standard equipment on the '82 Avanti ll....True?
-
Cafarro's custom Avanti had unusual composite type headlamps set into a standard nose panel...True?

You Avanti mechanics never ran into this one?
