Avanti Designer/1984 Avanti Touring Coupe

[murph the surf]

Which Avanti designer owned an '84 Touring Coupe,and what exterior color was the car?

I'll make a wild a-- guess and say Tom Kellogg and black.

[murph the surf]

that's a very logical wild _ _ _ guess,but incorrect on both counts.

I'll say John Ebstein owned that Avanti, and it was painted a light color...perhaps silver or white?

Absolutely correct,mfg!...It was my privilege to call John and Lenore Ebstein friends,and John was indeed the proud owner of a gorgeous white 1984 Touring Coupe.As an aside,an article was published in our local paper about "what is your favorite car and why",and John stated it was the Avanti as he was one of the car's designers!

I also met him and remember him owning an Avanti, but I didn't remember the year or model.
