Did Raymond Loewy do a Studebaker coupe in '53? I must check it out. The one I like is the '62/'63 Avanti with the fibreglass bodywork. I suppose it would get more exposure over here, having obvious European lines. Also I must say, it is the only car with a "hidden" radiator that I tolerate. To me, big radiator = big heat = big power. Simple formula. If it ain't hungry for air, it's a pipsqueek, and I don't want one.

Also Ron, as a man with an eye for bodywork, check out the rear profile on the Avanti. 10 years later, NSU did homage to the shape with the boot of the Wankel engined RO 80, another car way ahead of it's time.
