Media – Avanti Movies, TV, News, and Publications

Avantis appear in many films and television shows, magazines, news articles and calendars, and theater and multimedia productions. The Avanti has succeeded as a sports luxury vehicle, a world class race car, an icon of sixties style, an eighties convertible, a ninties four door sedan, a 2001 Avanti/Camaro, and a 2005 Avanti/Mustang. Who can guess what feat is next? The car, designed by Raymond Loewy in 1961 and manufactured by the Studebaker Corporation in 1963-64, was reborn as Avanti II in 1966, remained in production through 1991, was reborn again as the AVX, and then again as a 2001-2007 model. It was given away as a top prize on Wheel of Fortune in 1989 twenty-three years after Studebaker ended production. In 1993 Avantis zipped through Wild Palms as police vehicles and in 1997 Avantis appeared throughout the film Gattaca as cars of the future!
