Dave "Avanti Kid" Bloomberg sent me some pictures of his Bonneville
Avanti hauler and a few shots from Speedweek which I thought I would
share. I love the 4 Avantis together.
Here is the workhorse to get the Avanti to Bonneville :

The four Avantis and Dave's email text edited for clarity :
No problem showing the four Avantis on the Studebaker WEB site. This is the first time that 4 Avantis actually raced at Bonneville. They were from left to right : Dan Wathen's Avanti II (Ford engine), Jim Davis' Avanti II (Chevy engine), Jim Lange's Avanti (Studebaker engine), and my Avanti (Studebaker engine). At the meet Lew Schucart from Avanti Owners magazine took some great pictures of the four Avantis together and will do a future article on them. - Dave
