		Designed by a team of stylists employed by industrial designer Raymond Loewy, the Avanti was all new on the surface and a radical design that is still appealing in the 21st century.

	Studebaker Avanti
		Egbert loved fast cars and even though the Studebaker name was synonymous with value and tradition he managed to convince the board that a sleek performance car would save the company.
		The same V8 that was first introduced in 1951 had to be upgraded for the Avanti, so Egbert told his engineers that it had to be strengthened to accommodate a supercharger.
		Avanti cars go for around $20,000 when restored and good candidates for restoration go for $3-5,000.

	Studebaker Avanti - Ultimatecarpage.com forums
		The ailing Studebaker company needed something of an image booster at the beginning of the sixties and for this they went back to Raymond Loewy, a name connected with the company since the introduction of the ground breaking Champion, introduced in 1946.
		The name chosen for the new car was Avanti, reflecting the leap forward that Studebaker expected from the new car.
		After that several attempts were made to continue the Avanti production, and for some time the Avanti II was available, and other offshoots, well into the nineties.
