mfg Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 In 1964,'Avanti specific' exterior colors could be had on other Studebaker passenger cars.....True?
mfg Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Posted October 3, 2016 True. Apparently, you are CORRECT!...It's been said that two '64 GT Hawks were ordered in the 1964 'Avanti Maroon' color (P-6336)..... I believe that I saw one of those two Hawks here in Mass. when it was brand new! (late '63)
studegary Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 Even though they may have been the same color, I doubt that they were the same paint. Avantis were painted with lacquer and other Studebakers were painted with enamel.
mfg Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Posted October 3, 2016 Yes, the Hawks would have definitely been painted in enamel, however, the Studebaker factory paint dept. would have had little trouble mixing 'Avanti Maroon' in enamel!
