mfg Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 The name 'PACKARD' is not displayed anywhere on a 1963 Studebaker Avanti............True? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avanti83 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studegary Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfg Posted October 14, 2018 Author Report Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studegary Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 How about the battery caution label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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)?

Perhaps someone with an early production Avanti could check their Serial Number plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
