Hemmings Find of the Day – 1990 Avanti four-door

Avanti four-door sedan for sale on Hemmings.com

While Studebaker president Sherwood Egbert had envisioned a four-door sedan based on the Avanti way back in 1963, this 1990 Avanti four-door sedan currently for sale on Hemmings.com is not the result of Egbert’s dreaming. Instead, it’s the product of John J. Cafaro’s brief tenure as the guy who kept the Avanti name alive in the late 1980s. In fact, the Avanti four-door, based on a Caprice chassis, is the only vehicle his Avanti Automotive Corporation built in 1990, and according to John Hull’s “Avanti: The Complete Story,” AAC built less than 100 Avanti four-doors that year. From the seller’s description:

Fantastic, 12772 Miles. Only a few of these were built. Rear seat has tray tables! Down sizing collection!! Car is As NEW! Drive Anywhere. Has current California Plates. This car is a Fraction of the cost new. Ready for any collector car event! Paint and interior are original and excellent.

Be prepared to shell out $19,500 for this LA-based Avanti.
