mfg Posted September 10, 2018 Report Posted September 10, 2018 One of the names Ford Motor Company considered using for their new 'pony' car, (which they eventually named Mustang) was Avanti.................True?
StudeNorm Posted September 10, 2018 Report Posted September 10, 2018 I don't think so, Tim...uh, MFG. False.
Gunslinger Posted September 10, 2018 Report Posted September 10, 2018 I say false...there was the Mustang 1 show car in 1962. The Mustang we know which came later was code named "Allegro" and by that time Studebaker had already been using the Avanti name on its car.
mfg Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Posted September 10, 2018 And brad is CORRECT here!......The Ford concept car which Gunslinger refers to, the 'Allegro', (introduced at the '64 New York World's Fair), was originally known as the 'Avventura', then 'Avanti',... until Studebaker claimed that name!....Ford then settled on the name 'Allegro'.
