C'mon. In 1963 the Studebaker brand was about as sexy as a Nash.
It's what your grandpa drove.

Originally posted by studegary View PostI knew a lot of younger people that wanted a new Avanti, but ended up buying something else, like a Corvette or Thunderbird, mostly due to the wait for an Avanti.

Originally posted by sweetolbob View PostCertainly a factor but even more of an issue is 75%+ of the buying public and probably even more of the buying youngsters had no idea what an Avanti was/or believed Studebakers were driven by old folks if they had ever heard of them at all. Generally you buy at auction what you drove/lusted after in your youth. 6000 or so built and spread over the 48 contiguous states doesn't make for a ton of exposure.

Originally posted by studefan View PostI called Advanced Auto today and asked if they had front disk brake pads for my 64 Studebaker. There was silence on the other end. I asked the young man if he ever heard of Studebaker before and he said no. He asked if that's a motorcycle, ATV, truck or car.Tom - Bradenton, FL
