Geoff Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Okay, it's been long enough. False, 1025 has always been an automatic.From that article- "All told, we spent time behind the wheels of three Avantis while gathering information for this report. Our first car was a production R2 with optional four-speed transmission. Next was a Studebaker Engineering prototype R3 with automatic transmission. The last car, and the one which we put the most mileage on (over 1000 miles) was a late production R2 with automatic." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
