Avantis have been included in an
industrial design exhibit at the Louvre in Paris, in a Coca
Cola show in the British Design
Museum in London, in an exhibit at the Toyota
Automobile Museum in Japan, and in a Raymond
Loewy exhibit at the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery in Washington,
D.C. from August to November of 1975. The photo at left shows
an Avanti being delivered to the Smithsonian Institute's Renwick
Gallery through the main front entrance. It had to be turned
on its side to pass through the narrow opening as the pre-20th
century building provided no other access. The ornate 19th century
building is located on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and
17th Street, only a short distance from the White House.
