      That's one of Loewy's preliminary design sketches for the Avanti. I saw it on that Loewy website the other day.

        Thanks...
        I saw it on an AMT model website, and wondered about it's origin, and context.

          Is it Me,or does the front end look too flat for the rest of the sweeping lines of this sketch. I think I see Coca Cola -? -?,coke bottle aero dynamics

            The front bumper looks like the 1970 Dodge Coronet from the side!

              It is probably one of Tom Kellogg's sketches with Loewy's comments and signature (he signed many drawings of others).

                It would have made a Good Buick Riviera!

                  It was drawn in Palm Springs..... It showed the design team the basic styling elements Raymond Loewy was looking for in the new car...which ultimately became the Studebaker Avanti.
