    That looks like Avanti Motors Production, not Studebaker. That's a FOUR Door!

      It's a coupe...look at the swing-out rear side window. 4-doors didn't have that.

        Definitely a coupe.

        I agree about it being Avanti Motors production, possibly from the late 1970's. I believe the lighted 'exit' sign above the door would have been added as per OSHA standards after Studebaker left.

          Another reason that is not a four door is that the four doors were not made out of 100+ pieces and also were not made out of fiberglass.

                If not fiberglass then what was used? I've seen photos of production and it sure looked like fiberglass.
