'63 Avanti R2

In response to my former post concerning the R2 air filter box & the opening on the bottom, I'm posting a pic. I need help identifying which model this filter would have been on.

Hard to tell where the mounting bracket is located from that picture but that style of air cleaner appeared on 64 Avanti and 63/64 Larks.

Avanti63! is exactly correct.  The same "can" is used on '64 R2 Avantis and '63-'64 R2 Larks & Hawks, just with different brackets depending on the application.

There was an article in Turning Wheels about these air cleaners a while back.  Someone may have that issue handy.  We need more pictures to identify this one.

Actually, for the most part, the Hawk canisters was the same but the Hawks had two studs sticking out the front for the mounting bracket.  So, the above is not for the Hawks.
