I think that it is false.  The Avanti chassis was an existing and tested one.  They were more concerned with having models to show at public events/car shows and to picture in promotions.

Gary, your "false" answer is correct, however, not for the reason which you stated!:(......Any other thoughts on this one?

HINT.......semantics!!;)

FOLLOW UP......The actual reason for this trivia question being FALSE is that the 800+ acre location mentioned was officially called the 'STUDEBAKER PROVING GROUND' not the 'STUDEBAKER PROVING GROUNDS'!!!
