Kennie B. Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Do you include clear plastic or just glass of the melted sand variety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunslinger Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I say eight...windshield, two wing vent windows, two door windows, two rear side windows and the back glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron@crall.com Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Rear view mirrors you see through twice, all of the light bulb covers, tail, head, front turn, backup, can be seen through, Got to be getting close to 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron@crall.com Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 if "glass" eliminates plastic bulb covers, probably closer to 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwood7 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 OK, so now I am thinking 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted July 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'd have to go with gwood7's answer here ( Ron was also considering it)....ANSWER............#4...Twenty -One! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwood7 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Here is my count. Cabin glass=8, Instrument faces=8, Head light covers=2, Radio face=1, Fuel sediment bowl=1, giving a total of these items of 20. Then the overhead switch panel cover is clear but it is plastic. The standard mirrors (inside rear view and vanity) I didn't really consider as "see through" but Ron could argue that point.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 gwood7..............WELL DONE ON THE FUEL SEDIMENT BOWL!!!!......I missed that one, although I think it would only pertain to the '64 model, still, the question stated 'Studebaker Avanti'...so you're definitely correct on that particular glass item!

Kennie B. Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Keep in mind, mirrors are a big variable. The Feds didn't require outside rear view mirrors of any kind as well as a number of states, noe of which required a right side mirror if the rear window wasn't obstructed. On my '63 I count 20 pieces total. The instrument lights don't count since they maybe glass but the red paint is on the outside. If they were LED with clear outer lenses, the mind swims with the counting possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
