Factory production data from the Studebaker Museum indicate the two Bonneville Hawks were the only 1964 Hawks with the factory painted Sport Roof.

hello Rob and Al
Obviously there was never a stock R3 with supercharger and A/C. Although, I keep hearing about someone's cousin twice removed that has successfully done it but I have been unsuccessful in locating said cousin.

1) Studebaker…..2) Ford……3) GM…..or…..4) Foreign make
The answer to the question is all of the above.

It’s good to see that you are now posting the entire document when you quote a source… as opposed to just posting a few lines, or simply one page as you’ve done in the past.
I credit myself for this improvement in your communication skills… Be well!
And you refuse to post any documents.

According to the results of the survey from MFG Co. Studebaker and not GM is the answer to your question.
If you disagree you can post the page from the Morrison-Gottlieb survey that you have showing that GM is the answer to your question.

No, unless you show the survey results you are wrong.

This trivia question has been answered correctly by Stacey… General Motors!

Regslbob should post more details concerning his ‘survey’.
I have posted details of the survey from MFG Body Co.

I am surprised that only ninety-some Avantis were sold in calendar year 1962 given that: 1) it was a new car, with all the excitement of a new car, and 2) the Avanti was introduced about mid-year 1962. That only 90-some Avantis were sold in 1962 speaks to the production difficulties Studebaker was having.
--Dwight
There were 1389 Avantis built during the 1962 calendar year.
2% would be 27 sold in 1962.

I guess I said it wrong. I knew that the seats were the same, I meant the finishing of the seats. What were the two differences.
For the 1963 model year the Deluxe and Regal trims were available and the Deluxe trim was discontinued for the 1964 model year.

Info was printed in Avanti Magazine, Issue # 172… It stated that ‘B9’ was/is the first ‘B’ R3 engine number…. A noted Avanti historian and AOAI board member stated this…….
Don’t shoot the messenger Bob… and, as I’ve told you many times in the past…. substantiate your assertions.
