Studebaker Avanti (1962-63)
Value: $15,000 - $45,000
The Avanti was the best-loved, and most recognized, car Studebaker ever made. Unfortunately, it was introduced as Studebaker was staggering toward bankruptcy. Delays in production of its fiberglass body parts and general management chaos led to fewer than 5,000 being produced. It speaks volumes of the car's appeal that a succession of entrepreneurs have purchased rights to the car's name and design, keeping post-Studebaker versions in production.
