Studebakers at Daytona

Here are the pictures of a few Studebakers that showed up at this year's Daytona Turkey Rod Run. I only shot photos on Friday and just did another quick upload and processing so again I will throw away the bad ones later.



Can you spot the R4?

I see a Avanti with dual fours, but no other R4 stuff.

That's it! The other black Avanti is a R3. . . Michael Myers did all the work on the R4 for a Florida chapter member.

The real R4 had 4 bigger breathers on the valve covers, no vacuum advance, different air cleaners and odds and ends. Is it a "B" series engine all the way or just R4 heads and manifold or just the manifold ?

I've ridden in that R3 a few times. I rode in the R4 Avanti that Michael Float owns too. Both cars were amazing performers. :) So Rick, can you tell us who owns the R4? Curious minds want to know.
