We acquired the 1980 Avanti 6 years ago in the Village of Oak Creek, near Sedona, AZ. The man we bought it from was technically the second owner. The first owner ordered the car from the factory, but due to poor health, had to sell it without ever driving it. We have done lots of work on it since then, everything from paint, wheels and tires, engine rebuild (with hp boost), high performance 4spd, auto trans., and much more. The attached pictures were taken at Catalina State Park, north of Tucson, AZ, near our home in Oro Valley. The purpose was for a proposed calendar of Southern Arizona Chapter, SDC ladies with Studebakers. The front view of the Avanti is the picture Violet selected for the calendar. The calendar project never really took off, but we did end up with some pictures we like. The rear view picture was on the back cover of the October 2010 Turning Wheels. The other picture was on page 21 along with some information about the car. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thanks for your interest. Violet & Mike Borens
