mfg Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 After the application of the final exterior paint coating, Studebaker Avantis were sent through a baking oven......?....... 1) Side by side using two lanes.......or.......2) In line, one behind the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avanti83 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 I would believe side by side would result in temp variations and capital expense increases so I say in-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avanti83 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 I believe you but do have any pictures of the setup? Seems inefficient at first blush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes!....If you go onto Bob Johnstones Stude info website and look for the 1/63 letter written by E.J. Hardig and M.P. de Blumenthal to the Society Of Automotive Engineers, you'll find some interesting black and white Avanti assy. photos..... including one showing two Avantis side by side exiting the paint baking oven at Studebaker.
