BillyBob Posted August 22, 2018 Report Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) My '63 R1 Avanti, R4314, is reported (see pg. F-198 of Avanti Authenticity Manual) as being the first car built with black (vs salt and pepper/turquiose and black) carpeting on floor and door panels. I have Production Order & Window Sticker (file attached; sticker indicates Avanti Turquoise exterior paint (P6332), carpets/lower door panels/floor as turquoise and black, optional Regal trim (923, pleated doors/seat inserts) with turquoise (TQV) upholstery) . I've also established contact with Alan Basile, Authenticity Manual co-author, to correct. What else - if anything - to do? Many thanks for thoughts & response!

landriopa Posted August 27, 2018 Report Posted August 27, 2018 Since no one else responded, I will agree that you did the correct thing so that the keepers of the information have one more detail for our basis of knowledge. The only other thing that I would do, assuming that he does not already know, is to forward this information to the Archivist at the Studebaker National Museum. He is Andrew Beckman and his email is: abeckman@studebakermuseum.org
