'New' '63 Avanti!

[mfg]

There was a 'new' Avanti on the scene at last Sunday's SDC 'Ocean Bay Chapter' OCTOBERFEST held at Larz Anderson Park in Brookline, Mass.

Our new Ocean Bay President brought a very nice 1963 Studebaker Avanti which he recently acquired.........A very early model (Serial #63R-1097) (Body# 63R-268), it has the original and somewhat rare black 'Deluxe' Avanti interior...in excellent shape!

An R2 automatic, it has an extremely nice red 'clearcoat' paint job on it, which was done recently.

Apparently, a Dr. Johnson from Connecticut was the last owner......Pictures of this Avanti are posted on the SDC Forum under 'OCEAN BAY OCTOBERFEST".

PS....On a somewhat rainy day, eight Avantis were displayed at this meet...ranging from 1963 to 1989 models!
