| The Avanti was produced, from 1962 until
1991, except in 1986. The first Avantis, manufactured by Studebaker,
were 1963 models. Studebaker produced
4647 Avantis between June 1962 and December 1963. After Studebaker
shut down Avanti production, Nate Altman
began production of the Avanti II. The Avanti II was manufactured
from 1965 until 1983. Steve Blake introduced
a convertible and updated the coupe. Michael
Kelly renamed the company the "New Avanti Motor Corporation"
and introduced the LSC model. John J. Cafaro
brought the car into the nineties and added a four door model.
An updated version went into production in October of 2000.
