mfg Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 There was at least one R2 Studebaker Avanti built with painted (un-chromed) engine parts.......True? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I've seen photos of an early prototype with painted engine parts but I don't remember if it was an R1or R2. Just for grins I'll say true as it would make sense to proof fit parts without spending unnecessary funds on chrome items before the designs are finalized.
