mfg Posted October 13, 2018 Report Posted October 13, 2018 The name 'PACKARD' is not displayed anywhere on a 1963 Studebaker Avanti............True?
Avanti83 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) Pure guess but I'll say on the wiring, possibly plug wires. So false Edited October 13, 2018 by Avanti83

studegary Posted October 13, 2018 Report Posted October 13, 2018 Depending on when the 1963 Avanti was built, Packard could be on the Serial Number plate as Studebaker-Packard ended in 1962.

mfg Posted October 14, 2018 Author Report Posted October 14, 2018 Anyone else want to 'take a shot' at this one?
regnalbob Posted October 14, 2018 Report Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Seat belt label. Edited October 14, 2018 by Regnalbob
mfg Posted October 14, 2018 Author Report Posted October 14, 2018 Although Regnalbob is technically correct here (my own Avanti has the same tag as pictured) the intent of this question was a 'hard' part, permanently affixed to the car itself..... so this trivia question is still 'OPEN'! Once again, Regnalbob is correct here! Any other thoughts on this question?
studegary Posted October 14, 2018 Report Posted October 14, 2018 How about the battery caution label?
regnalbob Posted October 14, 2018 Report Posted October 14, 2018 Original fuel filters also had the Studebaker- Packard Logo.

Once again, although the original gas filters had S-P, they were to eventually be changed out.....not really a 'permanent' part of the automobile! I must give you guys a lot of credit for your Studebaker Avanti knowledge!!! Anyone else want to give this trivia question a run for its money?
regnalbob Posted October 14, 2018 Report Posted October 14, 2018 The serial number plate on the Power-Shift Transmission.

Regnalbob has the CORRECT ANSWER here! I guess that by "CORRECT" you mean the answer that you were looking for or are you saying that it did not say Studebaker-Packard on the early (like Summer 1962) Avanti Serial Number plates?

No Gary, (and I realize this stuff sometimes gets confusing), what Regnalbob is referring to is the serial number plate riveted to the side of a Studebaker Avanti's 'Powershift' automatic transmission........STUDEBAKER-PACKARD is displayed on it!

I wasn't confused. Reread my post. In addition to the transmission plate, are you saying that "Studebaker-Packard" did not occur on the cars' Serial Number plates in early production (Summer 1962)?

S-P name on early production Studebaker Avanti serial number plates??...not to my knowledge!.....(You may want to re-read my second reply above!)

Perhaps someone with an early production Avanti could check their Serial Number plate.
