Record Breaker – "This is a Studebaker Avanti promotional film from 1963.
The Studebaker Avanti set all kinds of land speed records
for a factory stock off the show room floor vehicles. These
records remained on the books for many years. Top speed was
almost 169 miles per hour. Not bad for something you could
buy at your local Studebaker Dealer for 5 grand." |
