8E45E Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Oh, how I wish it could have been a 'special' for Canada's Centennial celebrations that where held at Expo'67 in Montreal! (Of course, your answer is correct, as Avanti did almost zero marketing in Canada in 1967.) According to Stu Chapman, had Studebaker still been manufacturing cars in Hamilton a year later, they would have had a display in Montreal at the 'Autostade', along with the (once) Big Three, AMC and Volvo, which later became a football stadium once the Expo festivities were over. And Alfa Romeo did have their 'Montreal' show car concept in the Italian Pavilion. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing that it was a black market car, because I do not think that they had normal sales in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was the actual 'show car' that was commissioned by Bertone, specially for the event (hence its name) upon which all the production models were based. I believe it wasn't until 1970 when they became available for sale to the public. But that is correct, no Alfa Romeo Montreals were ever sold in North America.
