A category for Luxury Muscle Cars? Hagerty and Fox News think so and include the Avanti.

Interesting, Hagerty claims the exact same 5 cars as THEIR picks.

[wapanzica]

The article is sponsored by Hagerty so that is where they got the information.

[GlennW]

Thx, I missed that. Hagerty also included the 1963/64 Avanti in a similar article of "5 Most love 'em or hate 'em" cars. (better than being forgotten, IMHO)

I read that the Studebaker Avanti was the first generation muscle car. Given the era (1962-3), I would concur.

But this 'love it or hate it' description of the car, I don't agree with it. I have never run into anyone who hates the appearance. At worse, people are indifferent to the Avanti.

Does, "Boy, that looks stupid." count, because I know of folks who say/have said that.

[StudeNorm]

Yup... I've heard the same comment. "Where's the grill? That looks stupid!" When I tell them that just about every NASCAR race car uses the same under-bumper air intake setup they usually just say "Sure, but at least they paint on a grill where it is supposed to be."

I used to hate my car when my brother owned it and before he sunk some money in it on interior and paint.  Now I think it is very beautiful and unique.
