Not nuts about the color but not a bad ride. I always like those.

I owned an original Studebaker Avanti (Not one of those Avanti II's).
The sexiest car I have ever owned.
The biggest POS I have ever owned.

Cream and brown two tone! What were they thinking? I wonder how it handles with the 440. That's a decent amount of extra weight in a lightweight car.
Hang around brown.

I thought the Avanti Ii had small bock chevy..
Not a big fan. Always thought they looked like an up scale kit car. But I'm in with a stout 440.

This is an original Avanti. It would have had a Studebaker V8, in the range of 260 and 280 cubic inches, some came turbocharged!
No turbo. Supercharged!!
You could get a supercharged Studebaker Lark too. I've seen exactly two of those... One at a show and one at a junk yard many years ago.
If I wasn't already at my limit, I would look at this one... I've always wanted one.
BTW, the car is probably in Massachusetts.
Those were 289's with a Paxton if I remember correctly. Studebaker engines though. They were available in Golden Hawks as well. Studebaker bought Paxton in the early 60's..
I didn't know they were in the Golden Hawks too!
Studebakers are interesting cars... Look at a '53 Studebaker and compare it to any other 1953 American passenger car.
