mfg Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 One unique feature of the Studebaker Avanti four-door prototype, crafted in Italy, is that it was constructed of steel.....True? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plwindish Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 False, I thought France was the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Nor is it really four doors; there are three; two on the driver's side, and one on the passenger's side. The two were built by Pichon-Parat near Paris, France out of steel, and were referred as 'Avanti II' in-house in 1962-3 (before we actually had the Newman & Altman Avanti II's) Craig Edited December 9, 2014 by 8E45E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r5duecento Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Also, these care were NOT Avantis. They were a study to consider the infulence of the Avanti design on the other models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all-in-all, the Avanti influence came off rather well I thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
