Ed, Here's a picture of the tray. If you still have the newsletter, could you scan it and either send me a copy, of post it here? I'd really appreciate it.

Yes, that's the survey I'm referring to. I had a compiled list of all original owners and their vehicles. I had mine for years along with the complimentary serving tray they sent each owner. My list was lost, and I'm looking for a copy to replace mine.

If anyone has a copy of this survey, and would be willing to scan and send me a copy, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm trying to bring back some old memories.

I've been to Bob Johnstone's site on several occasions, but lacking the serial number I couldn't connect with anything. What I really would like to get is a copy of the survey that was done. I think that it had the original owners names, and the serial numbers of their car/cars. Mine was listed in that survey.
Mine was an R1 with auto tranmission, white exterior, and black interior and was purchased new in October of 1963.

No I don't. It was a 64 R1 with round headlights, and the number fell in the transitional range, but that's all I remember. I thought that the survey results had a list of the owners, and their cars serial numbers and was hoping that would jog my memory. I lived north of Philadelphia, and sold the car in 1969 to a buyer in southern New Jersey.

When the Altman brothers took over production of the Avanti, they commissioned a survey of original Avanti owers to get an idea of owner satisfaction. All participants received a TV tray with the image of an Avanti, and a complete list of original owners and their cars. Mine was an early 64 with round headlamps (transitional) and was sold in 1969. Over the years I have tried to track it down, but lost all of my paperwork during a robbery. I still have my tray and would love to get a copy of the original owner's survey. If anyone has a copy, and would be willing to send/e-mail me a copy, It would be greatly appreciated.
tia, David Thuss

That the real problem. My mind not being what it used to be, I can't begin to remember the serial number. Any original records I had are long gone too. I was hoping someone out there might remember purchasing mine in 1969. I lived in Churchville, Pa at the time, and the fellow who acquired mine was from the Cherry Hill area in NJ. Also the car when sold still had the original Studebaker owners name tag in it.

Hello all,
Back in Oct. 1963 I purchased an Avanti in Langhorne Pa. It was an R1, white, with black interior, and was registered as a '64'. It was probably a transitional model as it had round headlamps. I drove the car until 1969 when I sold it to a fellow who lived in New Jersey. When I sold the car the original Studebaker owners tag was on the console with my name on it... David Thuss.
Over the years I have tried to track her down, but to no avail. I never gave a thought to keeping the sales records back then, so they are long gone. I've racked my brain to try and remember the serial number but at my age the synapses don't snap like they used to. I am just interested in finding out if the car is still around, and what may have been done to it over the years. Any recolections are greatly apprecitated. Anyone with info, feel free to e-mail at sinkhole@bellsouth.net
Thanks, Dave

Ed, I appreciate your efforts and replies. What I'm really interested in finding is my serial number. I thought that they were listed in the survey, and was hoping that someone still had a copy that would show me on the list. Thanks again... Dave
