Buyer’s notes

About the Studebaker Avanti

The Avanti was Studebaker’s attempt at a turnaround: a glassfibre coupé designed by Raymond Loewy’s team in a matter of weeks, on a modified Lark chassis. It had front disc brakes and could be ordered with a supercharged V8.

What moves the price

  • Engine: supercharged or not, confirmed by factory records.
  • Original specification, confirmed by factory documentation.
  • Condition and the quality of any restoration.

Before you buy, check

  • The car’s identity and options against Studebaker records.
  • The glassfibre body for cracks and repairs, and the chassis for corrosion.
  • The supercharger, where fitted, and its service history.
