1963 Studebaker Avanti White 289 V8 Automatic 15444 Miles
This 1963 Studebaker Avanti is a unique, fun to drive and beautifully restored classic car. The Avanti was designed by famed automobile designer, Raymond Loewy, in a very short 40-day timeframe and was the first new body style for Studebaker since the early 50s. The car was intended to be a performance-oriented, luxury automobile. Taking design influences from the European cars at the time, the Avanti had smooth body lines, an under bumper air intake, and plush interiors. The wedge shaped design of Studebaker's Avanti yielded a car with an aerodynamic look and feel. Perhaps the most significant design choice for the Avanti was its fiberglass body, which made the cars much lighter than most other cars of the era and marked only the second time an American auto manufacturer had a fiberglass-bodied car. Under the hood on this Studebaker is an R-1 289 Cubic Inch V8 engine paired with a single 4 barrel carburetor that pushed out 240 horsepower in its day. Anybody can take this Avanti for a spin around the block because the 289 R1 V8 is hooked up to an Automatic transmission.
