405. "Prior to install"..... with Brads engine.
-
I'm going to go out on a limb here, because all of these seem way too high. Perhaps there was a booklet from Paxton attached to the owners manual covering this?
So "Studebaker" itself wouldn't have recommended anything.
BTW, I wish my '83 had one.....
-
Thanks for the link. Are prints available of them? I could find no info in that regard.
-
That would be "1963".

Big car dealerships in Chicago in the 70's used to have employees "friends" come in & special order cars fully loaded. The cars upon delivery would then disappear into a far corner of the lot. Parts would them mysteriously re-appear on the employees cars. Engines, transmissions, seats, & trim etc.
Even Johnny Cash seemed to be in on it .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWHniL8MyMM
This kind of thing was common back in the day. But I have to admit that Gunslingers Corvette story adds an even bolder twist.

Thanks, that was a good educational article on intake and exhaust piping needs.
Welcome. Next time you go to the monthly meeting at Mr. Beef bring along a copy of this http://sem-proceedings.com/27i/sem.org-IMAC-XXVII-Conf-s33p005-Optimization-Dynamic-Response-Complete-Exhaust-System.pdf if anyone dares to question your knowledge of exhaust systems! LOL.
Everything boils down to "simple" math.

Some interesting info can be found at the link above. It's all about flow, backpressure, & resonance.

Well....they did cover 24 cities in 16 days, so it may have been possible. TRUE.

Funny story Bill, While I've never had the chance to valet park mine, I've seen enough "What is that" looks to relate.
-
I never would have guessed....http://www.20000-names.com/female_hindi_names.htm , While it means "Forward" in Italian, It means "Modest" in Hindi.

You mean the old one that you are taking off? The value would probably be in the moon roof parts.
I rather like the moon roof on my '83. Can you not just get a new seal kit for it?
Anyways, The current value would depend on who is currently in need of one. I've no idea value wise.
-
From what Gunslinger said, I'd go with the General, The Corvette it is.
-
I believe that that would be FALSE. It was the 1st 1964 model, correct?
-
-
Going to have to go with FALSE on this one MFG, as all of the photos I've seen show the center rubber cushion.

Sit down with a nice warm cup & read this Studegary...http://www.kustomrama.com/index.php?title=Bill_Frick_Motors
My friends laughed at me for buying an Avanti.. "That's an Old Mans Car" Why? "Style" I said.
Fortunately, I'll never be a part of the "know it all clique", But I continue to learn.
MFG, Your trivia posts have led me to a wealth of information, Thanks!
Thanks for the interesting link. I do not know the source of this contemporary writing, but it does say Starlight and Starliner. However, if you look at the period advertisements, both the 1953 and 1954 ads show a Starliner and the 1954 ad specifically states Starliner (with no mention of Starlight).
I have never known of any Frick Studillacs that were not a hardtop or have I seen a picture of one. Does anyone here have a, know of or have a picture of a Frick Studillac that was/is not a hardtop?
I notice that one option was knock off Borrani wheels ($630). Bob Bourke put these on his own 1954 Starliner when it was new.
Found this one, maybe a removable hardtop? IDK, The car from "Diamonds are forever" https://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/literary_007world_northamerica1.php3?s=locations Why it's white.....
Considering...http://flemingsbond.com/studillac/

I thought that all of the Frick 1953 Studillacs were Starliners, not "Starlights". At least all of the ones that I have known of and those that still exist are Starliners.

I recall reading decades back that Flemming was going to have Bond drive an Avanti for some reason, somewhere (instead of his Bentley) in his next book, but sadly he passed away before that. Anybody happen to recall a different, somewhat exotic Studebaker that Bond was a passenger in, during his visit to the US in one of the novels?
It was a Black 1953 "Studillac" Starlight convertible driven by American agent Felix Leitner in "Diamonds are Forever".
A '53 with a Cadillac Engine. They were actually built & sold by Bill Frick Motors in Long Island, New York.

Western Union.
-
False. Halibrand wheels were not installed at the factory. They were dealer installed and (5) is not an option number.
Get off my lawn, Regnalbob..http://www.studebaker-info.org/AVDB1/R4000/the1964avanti.html....."Accessory" then. (5).
-
My guess is Filmways, The producers of the Mr. Ed Show
-
I've never seen anything to indicate otherwise. They were listed as Option (5) for the 1964's
I believe they were first used by the Grannatellis at Bonneville?
So, TRUE.

If all else fails, why worry? "its only money, you'll make more".
