8E45E Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 It appears the French publication, Autoretro magazine will be doing an article on Studebaker Avanti in an upcoming issue. Hints of that is when they solicit reader's photos of their car in the current issue, which they will feature when the article is published. Craig "We plan to discuss the Mercedes SL / SLC and Studebaker Avanti soon. You who own (or have owned) one of these cars, your user or restaurant testimonial interests us. Tell us about your joys and sorrows behind the wheel of these cars, the maintenance budget or even the points to be inspected in priority before purchase: your experience interests our readers who would in turn like to take the plunge but are still hesitant! Each participant will collect their photos and receive a copy of Autoretro in their mailbox ... As long as you mention your postal details!"

Vaaraz Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hello, Thank you for this information. I am photographer for Auto Retro and owner of the Raymond Loewy's french Avanti. I myself suggested the idea of talking about the Avanti in the "Le Vrai Prix" section which aims to take stock of the costs, buying advices, maintenance problems, spare parts availability for a different car each month. Today, the writing of the article is finished and I am in the process of finishing the retouching on the photos. It will be published in Auto Retro #458 which will be released on November 15 in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLBKY Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 I'd be interested in reading the articles..............I own a '63 Avanti and years ago owned a SLC. My brother can translate the articles for me, so I hope you can attach the articles here on the Forum...........Including the SLC article.

8E45E Posted October 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 One will be able to order a copy through their website when it becomes available: https://www.lva-auto.fr/boutique/magazines/autoretro The local newsstand here carries both Autoretro and Retroviseur magazines. But don't delay in emailing a photo of your Avanti to that above address if you want to see it in there. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original post was by Craig (forum member 8E45E) and referred to an item in AutoRetro at the end of the Avanti article that the magazine will next feature the Mercedes SLC in a future issue, similar to the treatment they gave to the Avanti.
