JWL1940 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Look at the other noteable Avanti owners when visiting the site and reading about the Jardine car. I am from Santa Fe, New Mexico and one of its more famous painters, Fremont Ellis, owned two Avantis. He was a customer of my father, the Packard dealer there. I remember seeing his Avanti II displayed by one of the galleries. (o[]o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lschuc Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Fremont Ellis' Avanti was featured in Avanti Magazine Issue 116 in 2001. Here are the two pages from that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avantiaz Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Several years ago I was at the Barrett-Jackson auction and walked up to a 89 Avanti convertible. I was wearing an Avanti shirt and a fellow standing by the car saw me and said can you tell me about this car. I said sure and went over the features of the car. The guy thanked me and asked if I had a card. I went on and the person that was with me said do you know who that was and I said no. He said that was Al Jardine of the Beach Boy's. Al waved at me when he was in the staging lane. Denny Lockmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
