Peddler Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Does anyone know if there was a service letter or any brochure that showed the Halibrand Mag Wheels as a dealer installed option. I am going to sow at an AACA event and they are bound to question the Halibrand wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly what you're looking for......but I can tell you that the April (?) 1963 Motor Trend Magazine, and the January 1964 Hot Rod magazine both road tested brand new Studebakers with several photos of the optional Halibrand mag wheels which were installed on both vehicles.....a legitimate option. The road test Studebakers were...... 1)1963 GT Hawk R2 & 2)1964 Daytona R3.......Best of luck at the show! PS.....Both of these magazines should be available on-line, e-bay, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I would think that it would be a Studebaker Sales Letter, but I am not familiar with one offering them. I seem to remember that you could not order them from the factory, but they were offered as a dealer installed item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob caser Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 While related to the Studebaker fringes, this might help in your judging at shows. Bob Caser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverplate Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 On page 29 of the The Studebaker Avanti Production Data book it lists the wheels as a dealer installed option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
