mfg Posted March 21, 2020 Report Posted March 21, 2020 Although the 14" fan blade was available as an option, none of the nine 'production' R3 Studebaker Avantis left the factory with it........True?
Gunslinger Posted March 22, 2020 Report Posted March 22, 2020 I will take a SWAG and say false. I would think the different fan would be part of the R3 HiPo package.

Bruce, You may be correct. Studebaker Sales Letter #161 dated 6-10-63 shows the fan included and not an option.

No, Bruce is not correct.......It has been reported that only 'Granatelli installed' (Paxton Products) R3 Studebaker Avantis came with optional 14" fans.....The nine production line R3 Avantis all left the factory with 17" engine fans.
