Ah, Avanti!

Definitely up there on the “cool and different” scale.

I still have fond memories of a neighbor that had a Studebaker Hawk
for awhile. As a youngster, I liked it because it had dual exhaust,
when that seemed to be found only on teenagers’ tricked out cars.
And I liked it even though it did have substantial fins.

Those two are the current 'Gonzomobiles'. This one is in storage in South Bend, Indiana.

I'll probably just give it to the Studebaker museum there. With the Avanti R-2 engine, I can't get gas for it anymore - needs 120 octane, and that takes lead ............... FRegards
