Although the 14" fan blade was available as an  option, none of the nine 'production' R3 Studebaker Avantis left the factory with it........True?

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. (Studebaker p/n 1555021)
