Just returned from the annual Ocean Bay SDC Chapter’s Octoberfest show in Brookline, Mass.

Amongst the many nice Avantis shown was the late Dick Vaux’s R4892.. the first production square light Studebaker Avanti, and also the ( then) 1964 New York Auto Show factory display car.

This Avanti takes my breath away every time I see it.. it is pristine!

An R2 model with Powershift trans, Tinted glass, Power steering, Am-Fm radio and tilt steering column.

The exterior is painted Avanti Turquoise, with the solid color ‘64 style turquoise interior in perfect condition…. Has wood grain dash, console & steering wheel.

This has to be one of the nicest Studebaker Avantis extant!

Several othe nice Studebaker Avantis and Avanti ll’s were on the field.

PS….R4892 is now owned by Mr. Patrick Ahern
