Avanti is hit at Concours d' Elegance of Texas

[devildog]

Sunday six Avanti from the Third Coast Avanti Club were select to be in the Concours d' Elegance of Texas. The Avanti were given a prime location on a knoll adjacent to a class of Cords and Duesenbergs and looking down the hill at a covey of Lamborghini.

One or two Avanti draw a few comments, but six Avanti at a Concours d' Elegance makes a statement. Equally import the crowd loved the color and automotive history of the six Avanti, we added excitement to the show.

Well done, thanks to the owners for helping build Avanti exposure.

BTW: I'd love to see shots of the PBJ.
If it's the one I'm thinking of...and I think there is just one authentic example flying...I've seen some photos elsewhere, a great ship.

Scared me for a minute. When you said;"Avanti is hit at Concours d' Elegance of Texas", well, I thought you meant one was HIT.

Good to see Avantis are being are being respected.


BTW, my neighbor has a Baron with low time Colemill motors. Been sitting for about 20 years, need another resto project?

I was not liking what I read but couldn't turn away.

Great exposure for Avantis and Studebakers.

Here is the PBJ (B-25 Mitchell). You maybe thinking PBY Catalina with your one flying comment. Marines/Navy used 3 letter designation ...SNJ (AT-6 Texan)...JRB (C-45, AT-11 Beech 18) etc.
