Studebaker AVANTI

I believe that the Avanti and the Hawk series were Studebaker's last hope to turn the companies finances around. Raymond Loewy got credit for this futuristic design, but some people believe Virgil Exner was the true creator. The Avanti was only produced for the 1963 and 1964 model years. From what I have read there were numerous problems with the fit of various fibreglass body panels from the original body manufacturer, and that Studebaker had to step in and start producing bodies in order to get the quality up to par. I personally feel that the Avanti design was too modern for its time, similar to the Chrysler Airflow. I'll let you decide what you think of this intriguing car.
