Avanti Motor Corporation Avanti II

Avanti II

The Avanti II debuted in 1965 as the continuation of the Avanti after Studebaker ended production. Built by Avanti Motor Corporation, it kept the original fiberglass grand touring coupe formula while using updated mechanical components over time. This first phase ran until the 1983 model year before the 1984 facelifted version arrived.
