I will say true based on my seeing the car after the run, but that was decades ago. I do seem to remember reading something about damage, like a broken window, that may have been repaired before I saw the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very interesting that you were able to look that Avanti over.....I wonder what became of it? Sorry though, your answer of 'TRUE' is incorrect!

Isn't he the gentleman who ordered the next to last 'production' Studebaker Avanti?
