Manual; Avanti!

[mfg]

In a 1971 interview, Arnold Altman estimated that about .......?........ Studebaker Avanti  shop manuals were originally printed.

1) 5,000......2) 10,000.......3) 15,000......or.......4) 20,000

My guess is 2) 10,000.

I'll guess 4) 20,000,as that was the hoped-for yearly production.

Not saying that I am correct, but in 1963 shop manuals were mostly for dealers.  VERY FEW new car purchasers bought a shop manual for their new car.  I am  a car guy and I didn't buy a shop manual at least until the car was out of warranty.
