I think the problem was that the a-pillar stainless moldings were glued with some kind of urethane to the windshield posts/a-pillars and glass and could not be easily separated without damaging the a-pillar moldings.

And coming back to San Francisco a couple months later was by cargo ship. It was flown to Tokyo in October 2002 because of a dock workers strike on the west coast of the U.S., and the backlog of outgoing shipping would not have got the Avanti to Tokyo on time if not flown there.

Both Alan and Lou did outstanding work to organize a great meet.

You probably need to call them. they should be in stock now.

Thanks!! We all try to improve each issue... both me, the AOAI board and our copy editors, Helen and Barb. Especially proud of the story about how Raymond Loewy submitted plans for the then new Lime Rock track. Something that was pretty much unknown until now.

These are exactly the same as original, NOS or otherwise. Same markings, size, feel and looks. Just good, clear glass.
-
This just in- Studebaker International will have a limited supply of new production glass Avanti headlight lenses available at the AOAI Tacoma meet!
Identical to the original, both round and square glass lenses have not been available new for decades. They’re better than if NOS could even be found, since 60-year-old glass would probably have yellowed through the years. $99.95 each.
Check out their reintroduction in Tacoma, Aug. 29-Sept. 1.

I have the same question for the forum. I want to know about Real Rodders reputation before I sink a small fortune into the wheels I want for my '63. My first impression are that they do produce a good product, but in these times we all hope there are still good, upstanding companies out there who stand behind the products they make. Thanks, John. I hope you get a response. Dan 619 933-7832
I've seen several sets of these wheels and they are all perfect finish and quality. Also dealt with the company owner and he does what he says and stands behind his product, from what I have seen.

The wheels are very good quality, made in the USA and mount and balance easily.
Here is a 1964 Avanti with the reproduction wheels

Nice car, Matt! These are more like the Studebaker Avantis and the best of both worlds.
Happy motoring.... Viva Avanti.

I received the May 3 issue today of Old Cars Weekly today and Ed Meyer, editor of The Steering Wheel, the monthly newsletter of the Missouri/Illinois Gateway Chapter (SDC and AOAI) won the Golden Quill award in the Regional Sub Compact division. (Ed won honorable mentions in some past years, but this is the first full award!)
Ann Turner, editor of SDC’s Turning Wheels and also me, editor of the AOAI’s Avanti Magazine won in the National Luxury division.
Other than Turning Wheels and Avanti Magazine, Ed's Steering Wheel was the only other Studebaker publication to win a certificate in the competion.
Three other Studebaker publications received honorable mentions: The Echo, by Chris Collins in the Grand Canyon State Chapter; The Studebaker Spokesman, by Claude Chmielewski of the Wisconsin Region, SDC; and Brian Curtis, editor of the Antique Studebaker Club’s Northwest Passage, Pacific Northwest ASC chapter. -
"eccentric".... just like the Avanti drivers !!
-
check with Olympus Avanti, now located in eastern Tennessee. They were having more reproduced in stainless steel. Last ones I saw were very good, better than originals. address and contact info is in Avanti Magazine.
-
where? when? I have not heard or seen any article of Foyt owning an Avanti.

Registration is also online now at aoai.org/shop

The AOAI registration form is in the new issue of Avanti Magazine.

A drawing of the Avanti wheel arch opening.... drawn to resemble the Sputnik reentry curve?

I hope that "someday" is soon..... both for R5051, as well as 63R1001 and 63R1002.

If you want to try repairing your visors, if not too far gone, check out the article in Avanti Magazine #170, Spring/Summer 2015, on page 50. You just might be able to repair cracks in your sun visors using supplied from most good art supply stores.

Two real nice photos of the R2 engines in Raymond Loewy's Studebaker Avantis!.........In the first photo, (R4578), it looks like the Paxton outlet is tilted more to the left than on typical R2 setups.....Is that just an optical illusion Lew?
Probably just an illusion..... although whoever assembled it in France may have clocked the compressor halves a little off to one side.

So, what ever happened to the R4 engine that was removed and sitting on the floor next to the car in the above book?
