The first Production Studebaker Avanti, serial number 63R1001, was donated to the Harold E. LeMay Museum. R1001 came with the second Avanti engine, supercharged # RS1002.
Notes:Ref: Service Letter # G-1964-3B , dtd 13 May 1964. SUBJECT: Car Serial Number - Avanti Models. "Effective with Serial Number R-3100 the year designation (63 prefix to the serial number) was removed from the serial number plate.
NOTE: As said previously, it's been found that quite a few cars are registered, within the States DMV with erroneous year assignments. This could have to do with the fact, that many 63 cars that weren't sold in that model year, were later sold as 64 models.
