Avanti vs. Corvette!

[mfg]

Ironically, although the '63-'64 Studebaker Avanti featured several domestic auto industry 'firsts', while the '63-'64 Corvette didn't feature any,  ....... and although both vehicles were made of fiberglass, with a base price very similar, ........... GM sold approx ------?------- times as many Corvettes as Studebaker did Avantis.

1) 3.........2) 5...........3) 10......or........4) 12

I will go with your answer 3) 10 because you say "approx.".  There were 9.4 times as many '63-'64 Corvettes as Avantis.  The number is only 4.1 if you just consider coupes (apples to apples).

The base price did favor the Corvettes.  A Corvette convertible was 10.1% ($408) less than an Avanti and a Corvette coupe was 4.4% ($188) less than an Avanti.  

I had two friends that purchased new Corvette convertibles instead of Avantis and my sister purchased a new 1963 Thunderbird coupe instead of an Avanti.
