Avanti on the Price is Right 1963

[Frank54]

Someone posted on Facebook a short clip from a circa 1963 episode of the Price is Right. The prize was a new Avanti. I tried to copy and post the link here but it didn’t work. Invalid link. Maybe someone else has seen it or can copy it here. Pretty cool, I thought. Looking back nearly 60 years it’s crazy what cars cost back then, compared to today. My own first new car in 1977 was $4092 out the door!

Post the broken link and we’ll figure it out here at SDC

I didn't find one with an Avanti, but I found this one with a 63 GT Hawk:

Wonder if Gary L. knows the contestant on the show from Wappingers Falls?

Worked for me. Might need to be part of facebook since that is where the link goes.

Perfect, the granny with the cat’s eye glasses is who you picture driving a Studebaker

The Avanti was featured during Sept-Oct '63

I am still no Avanti shown;-(

No, I do not know him. Also, I did not reside in Wappinger at that time (close by - East Fishkill).

I tried to find a different source for the video but came up empty. Just go to Facebook on the Studebaker Purists page is the only thing I can come up with.
