Apparently not on the '89's Gary....I've spoken with two '89 Avanti Coupe owners that tell me Studebaker's emergency way to get the hood open was eliminated by 1989. Anyone else have an idea here?

GAWen Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 There is a emergency release cable on the drivers side, inside the wheel well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
