Showrooms - Early production model
Studebaker Avantis began to appear in showrooms throughout the summer months of 1962. The car's radical styling and unconventional engineering got the attention of the automotive press. Canada Track & Traffic called it
"A bold, fresh concept with an undeniable feeling of motion that makes Avanti's competitors seem decidedly old-fashioned." Sportscar World said
"Studebaker's startling Avanti has caused raised eyebrows among diehards in the American motor industry, who have already nicknamed it America's 'Ferrari'."
