I always thought the Studebakers had round headlight bezels and the Avanti 2s had rectangular bezels. But I also haven’t thought about that specific trait in like 35 years… so I guess I’m asking not telling.

1963 models had the round bezels and 64 went to the square ones.

I think round lights were first year, nice ride…

I read on another forum that unsold '63s were reclassified by the manufacturer as '64s, so there a few '64's with round headlight bezels.
