We have one of these at work that drove to a spot to dish out expensive coffee. The next time I saw it, it was being towed to another spot and has remained there ever since.

Jeeze I didn't think any business vehicle insurance would insure a van like that.

Ran into this beauty the other day. '63 Studebaker Avanti with a (factory) supercharged 289 V8 mated to a 4-speed manual. The old guy who drove it in is the second owner, and just got it back on the road after a serious restoration. Apparently the paint is a Ford gold color. It sounded fantastic.

I had a guy pull out in front of me last week in one of these, same color. Plenty of time to admire that rear end as he did 33 in a 45, kept thinking "I know it's not a Ferrari, but drat if it doesn't have an Italian look". Finally got a chance to get around him and remembered what it was when I saw the nose. Why couldn't the front look as good as the rest of it (not that I wouldn't drive the poo poo out of one).

The Studebaker Avanti looks good, to me, from every angle, especially the front. It's on my list of top 10 attainable dream cars.

Unless there are two Ford gold Avantis rolling around, I saw this driving to dinner last night outside Indianapolis. Looks and sounds fantastic for sure.

That actually seems kind of boring, since it sounds like it takes place on public roads and you donate the car to their charity after the event.
