mfg Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 The Studebaker Avanti came very close to being called the 'Pierce Arrow'....... On the full size Avanti clay a stylized Pierce emblem was located on the nose panel, in the same location as the ( finally decided on) Avanti script......True?

studegary Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 I will say False, even though that could have been (I do not know about the clays). That naming does ring something in my memory bank, but I do not remember a front emblem of Pierce Arrow. The earliest prototypes had no nameplate on the front. A little later, they had "Avanti", but in a different script than what is now the normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted September 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 False is CORRECT Gary, but for a different reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted September 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 On the Avanti full size clay mock-up, a stylized Pierce Arrow emblem was mounted on the 'nose' panel',.... but unlike the later Avanti nameplate,....the Pierce emblem was installed dead center!
