mfg Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 As I mentioned in the R4175 thread, the Avanti featured for the month of December in this year's AOAI Calendar was also once owned by 'Tommy' Tompkins, an avid collector of Avantis back in the early years... The December AOAI Calendar Studebaker Avanti, R4849, is another beautiful example, and one of the rare 'transition' models....There's a you- tube video featuring this Avanti...( I believe it's called 'Car stories with Mike Costablle' ) When I first saw R4849 Mr. Tompkins was its owner, and it had just under 7K on its odometer...I was so impressed with that car, that I 'patterned' my own Studebaker Avanti, 63R1379, after R4849!....
