To eliminate the possibility of them coming off at high speed, stock Studebaker Avanti wheelcovers were not used on any of the 1963 Bonneville record setting Avantis......True?

I'll say false, based on film evidence in the Studebaker video "Bonneville Record Breaker", a shot of Paula and the #9 Avanti, and a Champion Spark plug ad:

Nice job Paul!.....That confirms that standard Stude Avanti wheelcovers were indeed used on at least some of the Bonneville runs.....answer...FALSE!
