Just hung up the 2024 AOAI calendar at my workplace...It's amazing how many folks are drawn to it!

In the world of Avantis, what makes Studebaker Avanti R5641 historically significant?

Hats off to Ed George, Nelson Bove, and the other Stude/Avanti participants at this annual Chicago show...Congrats to Nelson for winning the 'Bob Palma' award..and for entering the incredibly historic 'Bonneville' R3 Daytona convertible. Nelson..when you have time, would you please post photos of '#1' on this Avanti Forum?... Thank you, Ed

We know that the Due Cento Avanti's R5 engine is alive and well..... (possibly sans original heads) However, does anyone know 'what's up' with the car itself? Is the Due Cento Avanti still in original unrestored condition...or has it possibly been restored? (less engine) 'THE WORLD WONDERS'!!

GORGEOUS 2006 Avanti Coupe (#6) featured in the 2023 AOAI Calendar!

So what's so special about Avanti ll RQA0047?

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!
