Mark63Avanti Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I was wondering if someone knew off the top of the head who supplied Studebaker with their Avanti frames? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963r2 Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Budd ? I think but don't quote me. I have heard that name used before when talking about studebaker frames. Personally I thought Stude would have made there own. pb Edited January 1, 2022 by 1963r2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Lackie Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Pretty sure it was Budd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Except for the modified convertible frames used under the early "EX" prototype Studebaker Avantis,.....I'd go with Budd as the volume supplier of Stude frames during that time period.

mfg Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Just an aside.........The frames used under the first prototype Studebaker Avantis were assembled by a company named Midland-Ross of Cleveland, Ohio....most, if not all of these early frames had a special tag attached indicating where they came from.

mfg Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hi Mark, my own '63 Avanti is #1379, built very near your #1400. In my humble opinion both these Studebaker Avantis were assembled on Budd built frames...Be well, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
