Bob,

Thanks for the reply. I ordered a production order
for my '63 Avanti from the people in Michigan. I
haven't received it yet, but she read some of the info
to me over the phone. She said it was delivered new to
Milton Motors in Oakland. There is a plaque on the console
that says it was built for "The Carlile Family".
It is a 27,000 mile car with the original engine.

I bought parts from them in '69 or '70. By then they weren't selling cars any more, just parts. I think the only people there were Mr and Mrs Milton, both fairly elderly.

I have found out that they were still in business
as of 1966 and still selling Studebakers, at least
Avanti II's.

According to www.theavanti.com RQA0040 was purchased
there.
