Maybe you can get Jay Leno to part with his. For a modest sum? In their day, they were the fastest thing on four wheels. Used a helicopter engine in the rear. Had they gone into production we would never have had Porsche. VW wouldn't have become the incredible exporter it was in its heyday because the Tucker was sooooo superior.

Those cars were state-of-the-art. In any other place and time Tucker would have ruled the auto industry. Are all 50 accounted for or do I have a chance to find one in a barn? ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, August 9, 2010 9:42:57 PM Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: AVANTI If you want a super rare, awsome, all american car try to get your hands on a tucker....

Difference is that it really did have an Italian designer. I was never a real fan of Studebaker except for the Hawk. Wasn't '63 and '64 the last years for Studebaker? ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, August 9, 2010 8:49:20 PM Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: AVANTI I love the Avantis & many other Studebaker Designs Aug 9, 2010 09:19:44 PM, [email protected] wrote: Uh Kim, > Avantis in 1963 and 1964 were made by Studebaker in South Bend >Indiana. > >Pretty much All American.
