Just another entry on the 2011 Treasure Hunts series, the Studebaker Avanti


Some info from Hot Wheels Wiki..


The Studebaker Avanti was a sports coupé built by the Studebaker Corporation at the direction of its president Sherwood Egbert between June 1962 and December 1963. It has been described as "one of the more significant milestones of the postwar industry", gaining iconic status with enthusiasts and collectors
