[net.auto] Oldest auto design sold in North America.

kurt@aat.UUCP (12/14/84)

  In a recent article it was mentioned that the 911 was the oldest auto
design still being sold in North America.  This is incorrect.  The 
Studebaker Avanti started sales in 1963 where the 911 didn't start until
'65.  The Avantis are still rolling out of South Bend at a rate rapidly
approaching 400/year.  The only changes made in this time are a change
to non-Studebaker engines, interior trim, chrome bumbers changed to 
plastic integrated bumbers, and headlight trim.  The '86s are going to
have an entirely new frame and suspension which should make them one of the
best handling cars built in the USA.  And just think, for a mere
$50,000-$60,000 you can put one in your garage.

		Studebaker Lives Forever!!!!
