He probably wanted something different....If I wanted something different, I'd go with a '57-'58 Chrysler 392 Hemi.....Not for performance or handling...but for eyeball appeal at car shows!!

Avanti83 Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) I suspect that Ed is referring to the one done by Kount's Kustoms in Vegas recently. It was white, as he referenced, compared to your referenced black one. https://www.facebook.com/HISTORYCountingCars/videos/alice-coopers-studebaker-avanti/354404193105119/ Edited February 27, 2022 by Avanti83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
