mfg Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Outstanding black & white photo taken by unidentified photographer of Paula Murphy standing in front of Avanti #9 at Bonneville Salt Flats before the 1963 Studebaker speed record runs....Haven't seen this historic photo before....It's noted #9 is free of salt, so the picture was probably taken before the speed runs began.

VtMike Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 I agreed . . . love that photo . . . same color as the Avanti that was my 1st love . . . it was at Fleigh Motors in Hagerstown, MD in 1963. My Dad told me he would buy it . . . if we won the lottery! # 9 is my favorite Avanti. I believe it had the 304 cu in engine instead of the 299, and that it may have been as close as they ever came to a truly "production" record setting Avanti at Bonneville.
