Looking to purchase an Avanti Color and Upholstery Selector, 1963

[Supercharged63]

This book was used at the Studebaker dealer showrooms to choose interiors, exterior colors and other options when purchasing an Avanti. Please attach photos. Thank you.

don't have a clue on how to do that. are you looking for a pic of every word of every page?

Just FYI, these books usually don't always hold up very well over time.  In hot or humid conditions pages will stick together, warp, or discolor.  If I were buying one (I collect them) I would need reassurance that the exterior color pages (small pages or chips) weren't stuck together or warped badly.  Also, sometimes there are pages missing.

If a buyer is looking for a perfect example, especially a '63, then he will look for a long time, if he ever finds one.  The '63 books are rare because dealers replaced the '63 pages in the Fall of 1963 with '64 pages (and often threw the '63 pages away).

I have attached pix of my second best '63 book, showing the degradation issues with these.

Thank you Dwight.

@arkus No, I don't need a photo of every word or every page. I would like to review a few pages to see what condition your book is in.

based on the pictures dwight sent,(thank you dwight), my book appears pristine and a '63, no mention of any '64. i was unaware of how uncommon it was to find a book in the condition mine is; due to that i will pass it on to my grandson along with the '63 that it came with. thank you for the education.

It's a very nice dealer item to have and prices have gone up quite a bit in recent years.  I had the opportunity to have Tom Kellogg sign mine.
