Two 1963 Avantis were flown around the country during Studebaker's 'Operation Airlift' promotion. The WHITE one is thought to be...........1) 63R1001....2) 63R1002....3) 63R1003...or...4) 63R1006?

The white Avanti on the airplane was most likely 63R-1002.   During it's restoration and later its debut at the Amelia Island concours 3 years ago,  one of the tiny Avanti flags was found inside the back seat arm rest, under the ash tray.

#2 (63R1002) is CORRECT!....Interesting place to find that flag....kind of reminds me of the old Stude 'Starlight Coupes' with those enormous rear armrest storage bins!!
