My 1963 Avanti with round headlights, "thin" low seats and no wood grain on the dash was shipped May 27, 1963 to Alhambra California. I'm pretty sure that is Frost & French in the Los Angelas area. Bought by a doctor for his daughter (at least that appears to be true) it got registered as a 1964 because, I assume, it had set around the dealership long enough that the 64 models were out. I had the Iowa Dept of tranportation change that to 1963; my car, my choice.
