mfg Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 The prototype 'EX' Studebaker Avantis did not have a serial plate mounted on their frames until they were re-numbered and sold off in 1964.....True?
studegary Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 Probably true. I don't know for Avantis, but for other Studebaker prototypes they had neither a Serial Number plate nor a body number plate when built.

Actually, the answer here if FALSE!....The 'EX' Avantis indeed did have 'EX' serial plates, later removed to be replaced with 'production' (actually, AFTER production) style serial number plates.

I know that the EX Avantis had numbers assigned to them. What proof do you have that actual Serial Number plates were affixed to their frames with the EX numbers?

Wrong Gary!...Both of the Studebaker prototypes residing in the Studebaker National Museum also have 'EX' serial number plates !
