l clearly remember the very first '63 Avanti I ever saw. It was delivered to my local Studebaker dealer in Brockton, Massachusetts. The specifics of that Avanti were.....Avanti Gold, R2, 4 speed trans, Firestone '500' whitewalls, and an orange and fawn 'Deluxe' interior. The crew from the Studebaker garage constantly 'road tested' (hot-rodded) that Avanti around town, and with its 'nose down' mean shape and 'straight through' glasspack exhaust system....it left quite an impression on me.
Does anyone else on this forum remember the very first Avanti they ever saw? Comments welcome!
