    As an aside......a period auto magazine ran a multi page article entitled "Studebaker....how far forward?"

    A photograph in this article shows an interior shot of a newly completed Avanti just before it left the factory....guess what can be seen?

    Not to second guess you but I can't help wondering were these plastic seat covers in fact an add-on accessory?

    In my case I took delivery of a new Avanti in October of 1963. It was dealer traded between a established dealer on Long Island, New York to newly appointed dealer in New Jersey. Both being hardly rural areas.

    I received no seat protection , no window sticker, and no warranty documents. I still own this car and have been hoping this was perhaps a oversight and some day I might receive from Studebaker Corporation all that was missing on that delivery day in October.

    Same thing happened to me.  Wisconsin dealer got my car from Chicago dealer (1988).  When the car arrived I didn't even think about the window sticker until later - bet I overpaid!

  3. OK - just to satisfy my feeble mind - what kind of 'plastic' are you talking about?  The kind my parents had on the living room couch!  Sure, I thought about 'plastic' for the answer (I mean burlap) Stude was cheap but Hey!  My mechanic is so cheap I made my own PAPER floor Mats with his name on them!😬

    The sales brochure also states that the LSC had a completely new frame and suspension system. So my question would be was the LSC also built on the G-Body chassis, or possibly on the Caprice chassis? I also read somewhere that the wheelbase of LSC is 9" longer than that of the coupe and convertible. Could they have extended the wheelbase of a G-Body chassis to accommodate the additional 9"? Just curious.

    The, "Completely new frame and suspension" Was the Monte Carlo.  The Caprice would require major body mounting changes ('89-90).  So the G-Body was extended for the LSC (think I remember this).  I don't know if the 4 door used a full Caprice chassis or if it was 'cut' as well (thinking it wasn't cut).🤔  They were forced to go with the Caprice after '88 as Monte Carlos were no longer produced.

    But if you throw in U joints and clutch release bearing shaft and maybe more for stick shift cars it could be more. However, I think Im just missing a few somewhere in the suspension.

    You're going to need More grease!😗
