Some very early Avanti IIs received the chrome piece and the "pirate's buckles" on the sail panels but the Studebaker "S" is blacked out. If you look at early sales brochures they're very clearly on the cars. The small "pirate's buckle" between the rear seat cushions was there as well but covered with upholstery...at least the '70 I had was like that. I don't remember whether there were any of the buckles on the door panels early on but there may well have been.
At what point the exterior emblems were dropped I don't know...it really made no sense to keep them with a blacked out "S" and made for a cleaner exterior look as well to my eye. Not using them also meant they could be inventoried and sold through the parts department.
Thank you!

An Avanti ll was offered for sale a few years ago...the seller mentioned he ordered his car with the Studebaker hood ornament.
I thought it might have been a custom order. Thanks

Did any of the N&A Avantis ever get produced with that chrome piece on the hood? I have seen several 1960s vintage cars with it but did not know if the owners added them or N&A built them with it. Some have the "S" and some do not.
Thanks
