chicago auto show (tentative layout)

[j the teacher]

It (tentatively) looks like Avanti will be at the Chicago Auto Show,Feb 9th-18th. Found the show floor layout for Chicago's auto show. If you look very closely you can see Avanti next to Lamborghini in the North Hall diagram

How come they left Avanti out of the list of manufacturers attending? After 45+ years Avanti still gets no respect!

Bruce is correct. After all these decades , we still get no acknowledgement of the survivability of Avanti.

Need 60 Minutes or 20/20 to do a segemnt on Avanti Motor Corp. We do our part to showcase our vehicles.

Here's me from this past weekend at the Rod & Classic Car Show at the Hard Rock Hotel down here in warm and sunny Hollywood, Fla.

Those of us who went to the grand opening of the Cancun faciility in October saw what was probably going to be the surprise. A 2-seater based on the earlier Lister produced in Villa Rica ( which itself was in the Chicago Auto Show a few years back when the XUV was unveiled). Here's hoping we all get to see that car someday soon! We were asked to not take any pix...
