mfg Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 (edited) In a parts grab last year, I acquired a beautifully chrome plated Stude Avanti fan blade...It's an exact Avanti five blade steel 17" viscous fan blade..but chrome plated. It appeared to be NOS or 'almost' NOS, and is installed on my '63 at present.... Has anyone ever came across a Stude Avanti fan like this? Edited January 25 by mfg added 'steel'
Fourward Posted January 28 Report Posted January 28 Love chrome. The orange one looks nice enough. You've found something that rhymes with orange. Bet it looks great!

Yes it is unusual.... although I've seen aluminum and even fiberglass aftermarket engine fans on Stude Avantis, I've never seen another 'factory stock' Avanti engine fan highly chrome plated....It makes me wonder who did this, and which Avanti it was originally intended for??
mfg Posted January 28 Author Report Posted January 28 I don't believe Studebaker ever chrome plated an Avanti fan...even for R3's & 4's!
