Avanti Bus!

[mfg]

Here's a toughy!....what body related item is common between a 2022 Gillig bus and a 1964 Studebaker Avanti?

(not lighting, wiring, upholstery, gauges...not in interior)

Both have fiberglass bodies

Sorry, that's not the answer!

(Actually Gillig exterior body panels are predominately aluminum)

rubber gaskets/seals for doors?

Good thought but not "it"....

HINT!.... Some of the body side panels on a Gillig are hinged, so they can be quickly raised.

[pantera928]

So they have Avanti hinges

Pantera NAILED it....the telescoping hood support will interchange between a '64 Avanti and a Gillig bus (hinged side panel support)... I'm speaking of the '64 Avanti hood support...not the shorter, '63 style hood support.
