mfg Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hmmmmm!...Regnalbob your 'false 'answer is correct!.....but I'm pretty sure your Kelsey Hayes answer isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regnalbob Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hmmmmm!...Regnalbob your 'false 'answer is correct!.....but I'm pretty sure your Kelsey Hayes answer isn't. I'm pretty sure it is. I have 5 Avanti wheels with the tires removed. Stamped on the inside is 15x5 K and Kelsey Hayes. There may have been others besides Kelsey Hayes who made wheels for Studebaker.

brad Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Budd also made the wheels, and frame stampings too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Learned something new....I thought Budd was the only wheel supplier in that Studebaker era, but apparently Kelsey Hayes also supplied them. Well done Regnalbob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
