Researching my Avanti's history: South Dakota connection

[Hogtrough]

After buying a '57 Silver Hawk that had a fully documented mechanical restoration, I decided to try to find an Avanti with the same. I jumped on this '63 R1 when it became available, despite some FB forum advice to pass on it due to to very deteriorated interior (South Georgia humidity). It had a very compete engine and transmission rebuild in 2005, with all parts purchased from Myers and all parts and labor receipts provided. I was able to turn the interior around in a few weeks, as the seat covers had held up well. I only had to replace all the other vinyl pieces and headliner. Also required were a complete brake job including lines, power steering work and tuneup. 

The second part of the story is from this old advertisement for the car found on Bob Johnstone's site. It says the car got a "ground up" restoration, all needed parts replaced in the early 90's and described it as a "show car". The seller was Preston Hill, a rural South Dakota Studebaker dealer. I purchased it from the estate of the person who bought the car from this ad in '93 and have that title. Not sure if Hill sold the car new or bought it later. If anyone knows anything about the car or the dealership, let me know.
