mfg Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 Two (or three?) Studebaker Avantis were used in a somewhat popular sci-fi movie which is/was based in the future. The name of this movie is.................?
Guest dapy Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 BACK TO THE FUTURE with Michael Fox?
mfg Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Posted January 27, 2015 Nope,...not " Back To The Future".....(That was a great movie though!)
lschuc Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 The Sci-Fi movie was Gattica with Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. The two Avantis shown in the move are owned by southern California member Dan Skidmore, a docent at the Petersen's Automobile Driving Museum. "Pursuit of Happiness" also has an Avanti in it, and of course, the Karate Kid includes an Avanti convertible.
Gunslinger Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 "The Wizard of Speed and Time" has an Avanti convertible in it. It's pretty much a little known film from the 1980's about special effects guy Mike Jittlove (sp?) who is a real wizard at it. Little seen and little known film but it's fascinating.
mfg Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Posted January 27, 2015 I was thinking of the movie 'Gattica' (R2Andy-Ischuc). I've seen the red Avanti convert in 'Karate Kid'...If I remember correctly, that Avanti was the Straman prototype?
