J Boyle Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 I found this while searching the Motorbooks publishing company's website... Avanti - The complete Story by John Hull will be published in April. It promises the entire Avanti saga..."This book tells the amazing story from the Avanti inception in South Bend, Indiana, to its current status in Cancun, Mexico" to quote Motorbooks. I wonder if the "current status" mentioned is the Mexico production story or the new story about Kelly's problems? I posted this on the SDC website and was told that Hull is a AOAI member and real Avanti expert. I'll be ordering a book. Here's the Motorbooks synopsis on their website. http://www.motorbooks.com/Store/ProductDetails_39765.ncm Glad to see Avanti lore being passed along.
Gunslinger Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 It's available for pre-order on Amazon.com for about $23.00. I placed my order for it already.
lschuc Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 The book is also listed on Amazon.com, but at this link here: http://www.aoai.org/isell/, the AOAI is the only place to order the book both at a discounted price, AND AUTOGRAPHED signed copy by the author. I've seen proofs of the book and it really is well done and the definitive book on the Avanti. Also, The author was employed by Avanti Motor Corporation in Villa Rica Georgia from November of 1999 to July of 2001. He is a member of the Society of Automotive Historians, the Avanti Owners Association International Inc. and the Studebaker Drivers Club. We'll have a review in the next issue of Avanti Magazine and will offer special introductory prices for AOAI and SDC members for both the book or a personally signed copy. You'll be able to order it from the magazine or the AOAI website for these special prices, and get a signed copy too. Lew
