r1lark Posted October 14, 2018 Report Posted October 14, 2018 Did the reserialed "EX" Avantis retain a Studebaker-Packard serial number plate? Only thing I could think of.........

Anyone else like to try to come up with the answer to this "trivia mystery"?

r1lark Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Well, I'm sure out of ideas..........? Edited October 15, 2018 by r1lark
studegary Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 Is this just another way of referring to the transmission plate?

mfg Posted October 18, 2018 Author Report Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) So, the consensus of opinion here is that no 1964 Studebaker Avantis had the STUDEBAKER-PACKARD name on there serial number plates? Edited October 20, 2018 by mfg
mfg Posted October 20, 2018 Author Report Posted October 20, 2018 ANSWER.........False!......1964 Studebaker Avanti R5619 had it!
r1lark Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 Interesting, here is a pic (below). However, if this Avanti wasn't shipped to Belgium CKD, then it was assembled in South Bend and surely would have had a South Bend serial number plate. So in this case, the 'original' serial plate must have been removed and this plate installed -- if so, then does this really count as this scenario would mean installing this 'Studebaker-Packard' plate would have been a 'modification'? Not trying to bust your chops Ed, since this has been a very interesting Avanti Trivia question and I've enjoyed the back and forth.
studegary Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 It looks like the French importer was just using up old S-P plates. I do not consider it to be a factory installed S/N plate.
mfg Posted October 20, 2018 Author Report Posted October 20, 2018 Sorry boys,.... but in this case I must say GOTCHA!!!....There is no such thing a two 'official' serial number plates on one motor vehicle, so whether the serial plate on R5619 was installed in the U.S. or in Belgium, that IS its plate......And it indeed has S-P on it.......And "that's -that"!
