Boy, that Vaux Avanti is really something else....isn't it?

It is, until you put Mark Halsbands '64 powershift R-2 next to it!!!! It then becomes clear that the Vaux example clearly is adorned with the "emperor's" latest set of clothes!!!!

Well, I suppose there will always be a nicer car somewhere....but that really wasn't the point of my comment.

Just wanted to inform those that may be interested, and knew of the Vaux example, that there is indeed a finer one..hard to believe, but true!! Ya can't make stuff like this up! The Halsband Avanti recently took home top honors at the Greenwich auto show, and had taken home best of show down in Holmdel, New Jersey!!
