1963 Studebaker Avanti R-1877
Peter Crisitello, Princeton NJ

No Power steering or disk brakes - factory issue

This Black w/TQV (turquoise vinyl) interior Avanti has been in my possession (sic) since 1986. I am the 7th NJ owner of this unique vehicle. Commonly referred to as The Black Hole, it has traveled more than 378K since her final assembly date back on 11/21/1963. She has an AM/FM Radio (Studebaker), Automatic (Power Shift), and drum (not disc) brakes all around.
