Ah, the Studebaker Avanti. It was sold by Studebaker for only 2 years, 1962 and 1963. Studebaker only made around 6000 in the two years, although others continued a limited production for quite a long time.
I was a Junior in college in 1961. I had lusted at the various Studebaker Hawks when they were introduced and was blown away by the Avanti. They were, and still are beautiful automobiles and at the time would scorch any other stock car. My pulse still races at the rare sight of one.

Yes, the Avanti II ... a 60's classic !
Back when cars were cars and not toys we drive today.
That is one SWEEEEEET car! It'd be fun to tool around town in it!
I like it.
I just saw six of those at a bluegrass concert :)
awesome shot! I keep seeing old cars here in Berlin as well... love it! People should buy and drive them more often!

Typical 60's ride... were you coming or going?

magic car era
I think Rob is most specifically talking about my wheels. I've never ridden in one of these.
Cool car. And that's a really long front end!
cool car. I haven't seen anything like it.
The front end looks more like a back end to my untrained eye, maybe because of the fins?
Classic!
Very elegant car!
Cool find! ;-)
GREAT memories !
Have a super weekend.
Gorgeous! Let's go for a ride.
Ah, that's a fine one there!
would be a tricky park here in the UK.
A cool car. I wish sometimes that I had that Remove the Tourist tool after shooting photos like this one!
