mfg Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) The 'indents' in a Studebaker Avanti's roof panel, located above the L&R doors, are only there for esthetic reasons.....True? Edited November 4, 2015 by mfg
brad Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 I never heard the back story on that, and would love to know why it's there if other than asthetics.
plwindish Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 Other than styling, is there any strength gain on the roof when the fiberglass curves like that around the window openings?
ron@crall.com Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 Lowey was a purist and had a strong personality, the industrial designer version of Frank Lloyd Wright. I am pretty sure that they were placed there because Raymond wanted them there.
mfg Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Posted November 8, 2015 I'd go along with Ron on this one....."Raymond wanted them there".....The indents were a styling feature only!
