Trivia!....Avanti Tire Name

[mfg]

On Studebaker Avantis, what was the 'model' name of the Firestone whitewall bias-ply tires?

[Gunslinger]

Firestone 500.

"500" it is! (Indy500?----Daytona500?)

The round headlight Avanti titled as a '64 car I bought in April '66 had 5 K miles on it, as well as the Firestone 500 narrow white wall tires.
