mfg Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Studebaker offered seven colors on their Avanti for '64....True?
Guest dapy Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) According to the information from the Studebaker National Museum the 1964 exterior colors were black, white, turquoise, gold, red, gray and maroon. What was the ranking of colors by production popularity? How many 1964 'designated' Avantis were produced? So seven colors would be correct. Anyone keeping track of the true/false winners? How many players are there? Edited July 30, 2014 by dapy
mfg Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Posted July 30, 2014 Sorry dapy, but seven colors isn't right....Answer False!
mfg Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Posted July 30, 2014 Anyone want to take another shot at this one?
Gunslinger Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Six...White, Turquoise, Gold, Red, Gray and Black (which was an extra cost special order).
regnalbob Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Studebaker offered seven colors on their Avanti for '64....True? True. If you only include colors offered by Studebaker and not a special non Avanti color. Black (special order), White, Turquoise, Gold, Red ( discontinued October 1, 1963), Maroon and Gray.
mfg Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Posted July 31, 2014 Six...White, Turquoise, Gold, Red, Gray and Black (which was an extra cost special order). Six...White, Turquoise, Gold, Red, Gray and Black (which was an extra cost special order). Sorry no,...six is not the correct answer!
mfg Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Posted July 31, 2014 True. If you only include colors offered by Studebaker and not a special non Avanti color. Black (special order), White, Turquoise, Gold, Red ( discontinued October 1, 1963), Maroon and Gray. Good point on the non-Avanti colors,...but seven isn't the answer here!
brad Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 I think the grey was also discontinued. So that would be white, special order black, gold, turquoise, and maroon. Five colors
mfg Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Posted July 31, 2014 No, five wasn't the amount of different exterior colors offered by Studebaker for the '64 Avantis....The correct answer is EIGHT!......... Answer to question...FALSE

Answer to question...FALSE Can you tell us what the eighth color is? Edited August 1, 2014 by Regnalbob
mfg Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Posted August 1, 2014 Sure...I'll list all eight............Avanti Black, Avanti White, Avanti Turquoise, Avanti Gold, Avanti Red, Avanti Gray Poly, Avanti Maroon Poly, and Avanti Gold Poly- Studebaker code P-6337. (Not to be confused with 'Avanti Gold' Stude code P-6333

(Not to be confused with 'Avanti Gold' Stude code P-6333 The codes are for 1963 and not 1964. There is no P-6337 in dealer fact books, only P-6333 for Avanti Gold in 1963. For 1964 all paint codes started with P-64. Gold is Gold . You cant count it as two different colors. The answer is seven. Gold P-6433 Black P-6430 White P-6431 Turquoise P-6432 Red P-6434 Gray P-6435 Maroon P-6436 These numbers had to be specified on the dealer order form. Edited August 1, 2014 by Regnalbob

No, there were two Studebaker 'Avanti Golds' (but not many folks know this) To confirm locate the period Ditzler (now PPG) paint manual. The 1963 'Avanti Gold' was carried over into 1964. The Ditzler paint mix code on this color was...21530. The newer 'Avanti Gold Poly', introduced for the '64 models, carried the Ditzler mix code....22480. Once again, not many folks realize this. Studebaker Avanti paint codes indeed are confusing....The first Avantis sold in the summer of '62 also carried the P-63 paint prefix.
brad Posted August 2, 2014 Report Posted August 2, 2014 well, what about the two Avanti turquoise's then?
mfg Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Posted August 2, 2014 well, what about the two Avanti turquoise's then? Believe it or not....THAT was to be my next trivia question!!!....I'll post it tomorrow.
