mfg Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 What is considered to be the rarest Studebaker Avanti sales lierature/brochure extant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I would say either PD 63-69 or a non-numbered mailer which is unique and shares little or no artwork or text with other brochures or literature. The pages were die-cut in decreasing stages. It may have been made for dealer mailings or for showroom use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Good thoughts!....Any other opinions on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 The set targeted at various professionals, i.e., doctors, lawyers, computer programmers, etc. The one targeted at the computer programmers is probably the most interesting.

I didn't see the post where this was "decided" (or lobbied by dapy) ...You are doing a yeoman's job at this task that you have single-handedly taken on and I am more than satisfied with YOUR previous time frame for revisiting and posting answers. Two weeks is too long to wait, IMO. Thanks for your efforts, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfg Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Answer.......The double-sided, 8 1/2" X 11" color handout from the 1962 New York International Auto Show is considered one of if not THE rarest bit of factory Studebaker Avanti Literature.....Why?....because although it is similar to later Studebaker showroom brouchures, etc. in it's layout, the Avanti illustrated and all its unique features are all very much pre-production. EXAMPLE:..The hood open shot of the R2 engine shows an R2 with yellow vallve covers and no chrome parts at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
