Just got my Hemmings Classic Car July issue and there was an article about American Orphans. I have confidence in the quality of this publication but the two Autos that I know a little about raised some questions of accuracy. It raises the question in my mind if there are not similar inaccuracies in the narratives of the other brands?
The Avanti listed the years in business as 1965 to 1990. What about the Avantis that were built up to 2006? there was no mention of them. Are they not considered Avantis?
They claimed Studebaker was in business from 1897 to 1966. Where did the year 1897 come from. I have always been under the impression that they started building automobiles in 1902. Can someone tell me what happened in1897 at Studebaker?
Maybe Mr. Palma could shed some light since he is on staff.
