In 1962 a Studebaker Avanti R3 broke 29 Bonneville speed records making it one of the fastest American cars ever built. The '63 Avanti was redesigned for the first time since 1953. Legendary designer Raymond Loewy gave it a design that looked more European than American. The front fender and rear bumper were pretty sharp, it had a fiberglass body, circular headlights, and no front grille. The 289cid V8 was in very high demand but unfortunately production could not meet the demand.
