Craig A very interesting write up about this Avanti can be found in issue #130, (2005) of the AOAI Magazine.....It was an 'Avanti Turquoise' R1, automatic sold to a Dr. Bohdan of Toronto, Canada. The Doctor initially ordered an 'Avanti Gold' version from Studebaker, however due to the now well known production delays, he cancelled that order opting for a brand new turquoise Avanti he spotted for sale on a November, 1962 trip to New Jersey.......Ed
