XCR1250 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Avanti's had 289 Ford engines, the R1, R2,& R3, a friend back then had one. I had a 1949 4 door Stude when I was 16 and a 1961 Stude Lark convertible in the late 60's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRONDOG Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Studebaker 289 debuted in 1956. What year was the 289 introduced by Ford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin_dry Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 Studebaker never used ford motors. Some of the mid “60’s studebakers built in Canada used a Chevy v8. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 The rubble still stands . After multiple owners the demolition has become more expensive than the property. Sad, like most of Detroit. A once great thriving city reduced to little Ukraine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
