Description
The Studebaker Avanti was a personal luxury coupe built by the Studebaker Corporation between June 1962 and December 1963.
The Avanti name, tooling and plant space were sold to two South Bend, Indiana, Studebaker dealers, Nate Altman and Leo Newman, the first of a succession of entrepreneurs to manufacture small numbers of Avanti replica and new design cars through 2006.
The car had a rare combination of safety designed into it, with blazing fast speed. 29 records were broken by it at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
The original Studebaker Avanti has been described as "one of the more significant milestones of the postwar industry".

They were and are gorgeous. Like most Studebaker designs, they were way ahead of their times.
