Hello everyone!!!! Please excuse my long absence from the form. I have been WAY TOO BUSY with life and my new car, a 1963 Studebaker Avanti! To get everyone caught up, Lucille was the feature car in Cars and Parts magazine for May (A high end magazine that has been around as long as Hot Rod)! You can look it up by going to their web site. The car was also written up in VTCI Scoop publication. She now has her special order from Coker tire BF Goodrich correct from the factory molds tires for the car (The Firestone tire mold which about 75% of the cars left the factory with was destroyed some time ago. Mine has the factory Firestone spare still in it so if you have yours, they are rare and not reproduced!) Anyway, Lucille also got invited to the Forest Grove Concours de Legance in Oregon in just a couple weeks. This show is fantastic and quite lucky to be selected. Will let you know how it goes. She is running PERFECTLY, except for below.
Lucille is done! 100% factory original (except battery) down to mufflers, hangers and clamps. She is looking GOOD!!!
One little problem, I just found out her wipers do not work! Never tried them before because , ...well she does not get driven in the rain! Well I was checking every function out before the big show and found no movement to the wipers, all factory components..... Well guys and gals.....any ideas? I thnk actually they moved very slightly and slowly about 1/2" and then nothing
In closing, please excuse my tardyness. Ray, you are still the best! I will stay a more steady member now, By the way....That AVanti is one increadable car!! Ever get a chance to drive on, TAKE IT!
Hope everyone is well!
Greg
