Avanti Colors

Recommended Posts

According to the information from the Studebaker National Museum the 1964 exterior colors were black, white, turquoise, gold, red, gray and maroon. What was the ranking of colors by production popularity? How many 1964 'designated' Avantis were produced?

So seven colors would be correct. Anyone keeping track of the true/false winners? How many players are there?

Studebaker offered seven colors on their Avanti for '64....True?

True. If you only include colors offered by Studebaker and not a special non Avanti color.

Black (special order), White, Turquoise, Gold, Red ( discontinued October 1, 1963), Maroon and Gray.

Six...White, Turquoise, Gold, Red, Gray and Black (which was an extra cost special order).

Sorry no,...six is not the correct answer!

Good point on the non-Avanti colors,...but seven isn't the answer here!

I think the grey was also discontinued. So that would be white, special order black, gold, turquoise, and maroon.

Five colors

Sure...I'll list all eight............Avanti Black, Avanti White, Avanti Turquoise, Avanti Gold, Avanti Red, Avanti Gray Poly, Avanti Maroon Poly, and Avanti Gold Poly- Studebaker code P-6337. (Not to be confused with 'Avanti Gold' Stude code P-6333

The codes are for 1963 and not 1964. There is no P-6337 in dealer fact books, only P-6333 for Avanti Gold in 1963.

For 1964 all paint codes started with P-64.

Gold is Gold . You cant count it as two different colors. The answer is seven.

Gold P-6433

Black P-6430

White P-6431

Turquoise P-6432

Red P-6434

Gray P-6435

Maroon P-6436

These numbers had to be specified on the dealer order form.

No, there were two Studebaker 'Avanti Golds' (but not many folks know this) To confirm locate the period Ditzler (now PPG) paint manual. The 1963 'Avanti Gold' was carried over into 1964. The Ditzler paint mix code on this color was...21530. The newer 'Avanti Gold Poly', introduced for the '64 models, carried the Ditzler mix code....22480. Once again, not many folks realize this. Studebaker Avanti paint codes indeed are confusing....The first Avantis sold in the summer of '62 also carried the P-63 paint prefix.
