[psdenno]

Studebaker stated all Avantis sold after what date should be registered as 1964 models.

               9/1/63     10/15/63     10/30/63      1/5/64

Sorry psdenno, but the reprint of a Studebaker document which I have indicates a date which isn’t mentioned above.

Check your AOAI Magazine Issue  #60, page 15….A letter issued by Lewis Minkel of the Studebaker Corporation, and reprinted by noted Studebaker/Avanti expert George Krem, reads…..(QUOTE)

”Effective October 1, 1963, and until further notice, all new and unused Avanti models, when first sold at retail and licensed or titled after the October 1, 1963 date, will carry the registration year designation year 1964.”

The above referenced document, originally issued in 1963 by Studebaker Corporation, indicates (to me anyway) that the correct answer to this trivia question is  10/1/63…. Ed

No need to be sorry, MFG.  

Regnalbob is a winner with 9/1/63 as that matches the document I referenced.

Ron….I see the one month discrepancy between the two letters…. suggest you contact Mr. George Krem for his opinion concerning this….Ed

Please read the above letter which I quoted from… it indicates 10/1/63 as the model year change date… Also, I suggested Ron contact Mr. Krem for a ruling here…Ed

I suggest that you look at the dates on the letters.

I did … The letter I’m quoting was written earlier than the document which you posted…. which indicates the Company changed its mind??

On the other hand, Mr. Minkel’s title with Studebaker is ‘President’ in the earlier letter, while Mr. Challinor’s title is ‘ V.P. and GM of the parts & service division.

I would think Mr. Minkel’s letter would hold sway over Mr. Challinor’s ….(My opinion)….Ed

Also… The earlier (Minkel’s) letter was sent out to all Studebaker Dealers)
