University of Illinois, Urbana - Champaign, IL. I was an undergraduate student from 1972 - 1976. Probably an Avanti II - I saw it parked on campus outside Garcia's Pizza. It was such a unique and gorgeous vehicle that I stopped in my tracks to admire it.
Turns out it was owned by one of the two owners of Garcia's - the most popular pizza place on campus at that time. The two owners, who called themselves "The Flying Tomato Brothers" also flew a hot air balloon, shaped like - what else -a tomato!
I always swore I would own one someday, and now I do - a gold 1963 R1 with black interior.
