Started out that way... Avanti.. years ago. Then that SN was taken, so it was Avante, then on from there as it was taken. I've always thought they were cool cars. I've got a customer /w 3 of them, we used to do lots of work on them.
My Dad was selling Studebakers when they came out and had a supercharged one for a demo briefly. Compared to his Allard J2X it was kinda piggy, he says.
