  • Anyone see this one yet?

    I've heard people say that you have to either love or hate the front end of an Avanti. This one raises the situation to a whole new level.

    I had the owner send me more pics and they're on the lower part of this page...

    That is wrong on so many counts. Looks like Clark Griswold's family truckster in the front.

      Ugh![V]

      Miscreant Studebaker nut in California's central valley.

      1957 Transtar 1/2ton
      1960 Larkvertible V8
      1958 Provincial wagon
      1953 Commander coupe
      1957 President two door

      No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.

            Wow.

            Well, it's a perfectly good excuse to hack it up and put a '63 nose on it...

            if he wanted more cooling, why not just cut put louvered panels in the hood? That might actually look good...

              My initial reaction was a gut wrenching "oouhg!" I have nothing against the original Avanti styling...even though it is by far not on the top of my list...but this one is just UUUG-LY!


              1963 Lark Custom, 259 V8, TT, 4 doors, 2 tone paint. Driven often, always noticed. Man I love this car!!

                    Speaking of The Griswolds: Didn't I see this Avanti up on blocks 'round back of Cousin Eddie's place on the prairie in the original Vacation movie? [:0][xx(] BP
                    We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

                            I don't think the grill mod is all that bad but the extra bumper parts under the turn signals are ghastly [xx(] I could even stand the center guards but those end pieces would have to go. Is it me or does the front end straight ahead shot sort of look like a mid 70s pontiac grand prix or perhaps a early cordoba??
