Studebaker to come back from the dead?

[z31maniac]

My dad has a 63 Studebaker Avanti.... Many weekends of my youth were spent in South Bend at Studebaker shows at the old plant.

I drive by what appears to be a pretty clean '63 Avanti on the way to work every day.

.......guy has it parked under a tree with the windows cracked.

:(

Hope they make this beauty...



Very amateur website.

That is god awful ugly. Looks too much like a jelly bean. Lower the belt line, and the whole back end of the car is a styling disaster, not to mention blind spot central. Seriously, a rear window should face rear, not upwards. You can't see a thing with the window pointed the wrong direction. Seriously, there is nothing good about that car.

All of those cars look goofy, the truck looks like a warmed over Chevy SS. Pretty much, all three cars are an insult to one of, if not the oldest coach building name in American history. Sad.

I was very excited by the thread title, and after seeing the website I'm kind hoping it doesn't happen :(

These designs are horrid

My father had 2 studebakers while I was growing up, a 1962 Lark w/ the hipo 289 and a 1963 Avanti. I love the styling of the ol' stude's but even if this company did make it it just wouldn't be the same. Studebaker was killeded off by very poor business practices and there have been SEVERAL attemps to bring them back from the dead. The Avanti was reincarnated at least 5 different times starting with the Avanti II in the late sixties to the latest versions that were based off of f-body camero's. General Motors even tried to revive the brand about 10 years ago as a luxury car to replace oldsmobile. If the Studebaker Motor company came back from the dead and had concepts that resembeled their glorious past, I would be first in line
