Hi guys, I ran into this beauty in Portland, Oregon. While I was outside snapping a few photos, the owner walks out of his shop to chat. From what he tells me, parts of the Studebaker Avanti were ideas shared with Datsun. In fact, he tells me the front and rear marker lights are actual parts from a Datsun 510. Does anyone know if there are other parts of this car that were derived from Datsun? I found this to be a very cool looking car in original condition. The guy told me his father purchased the car new and has owned it ever since. He ended up with the car after his parents divorced. Apparently his mom got pretty angry at his father and proceeded to make "art" on the front hood. I asked him if he was going to paint it and he said, "No, it reminds me of the good ol' days to keep it all like this..." Any other Avanti fans out there? I'm a new one...
