mfg Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Why is the date 5/22/65 of importance to the history of the AOAI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm guessing that's when the Association was founded. It was the AOA then...it didn't become the AOAI until somewhat later...or at least the newsletters (not a magazine yet) were printed as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regnalbob Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Correct....5/22/65 was the date the first chapter of the now AOAI was founded!....by the way , it was AOC,....AOA,...and finally AOAI! From the day it was chartered in 1965 it has been the Avanti Owners Association International, Inc. (AOAI). I have a 1965 Charter Member Dash Plaque and all my membership cards from 1966 to date and they all have Avanti Owners Association International, Inc. printed on them.

Gunslinger Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Back in the late '70s into the '80s was an Avanti Owners Club. It wasn't affiliated with the AOAI and put out some newsletters. I don't know if it was disaffected AOAI owners or some with different goals in mind. It eventually disappeared...lack of membership, lack of interest or some other reason, I guess.

Kind of sounds like the story of the 'Studebaker Automobiles Society'......Remember that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
