Description

Dutton Garage, for the 1st time, is very proud to present this stunning 1963 Studebaker Avanti, Finished in Avanti Gold, Contrasted by Factory Polished Hubcaps, Wrapped in White Walls, Over a Soft Black Cabin, with Tweed Black/Brown Carpet, this Avanti features the same colour combinations as the release cars advertised!

Sold new by Ray Tanner Motors, in Phoenix Arizona, this Avanti is believed to have had only two owners in the U.S.A!
Exported in 2014 from the Steven Cabella Design Collection there has been only 1 owner in NZ since!

Powered by the 4.7L V8, with the Automatic Gearbox, and Disc Brakes, this was the Studebaker to have in the 60's!

As the decade of the sixties began, Studebaker was in serious financial trouble. Detroit's Big Three (Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Chrysler Corporation) started dominating American car sales, and the smaller independent companies could not compete. In February of 1961, newly appointed president Sherwood Egbert proposed designing and building a sports car to help boost the company's image and attract younger buyers. The Avanti was Born!

A combination sports car and sedan with unusual ideas in styling, brakes, and horsepower. Everywhere you look, the Avanti shows you just a little extra!
