Time for a Pop Quiz.
The first person to post the correct answer to this question will receive two unused NOS Studebaker Red Ball stationery envelopes for their "smalls" collection:
What Chassis Part, per Studebaker Parts Books (a key point), was developed for 1964 Lark-types equipped with R3 engines and was then later used on many 1965 and 1966 models? You don't have to give the Part Number; just an adequate description of the part.
Background: When someone ordered an R3 engine in a 1964 Lark-type, there were a few components that had to be developed to accommodate that engine in those body styles. It would seem like the money spent to develop and manufacture any such parts for R3s in 1964 Lark types was wasted, since only one such 1964 model year car was built; Nelson Bove's Strato Blue Commander 2-door.
But it turned out that the develop money wasn't wasted after all, because that very part was needed for, and used on, many 1965 and 1966 models!
What was it?
