Concerning the Cad/Avanti....The Granatellis fitted a custom remote control into the console of this Avanti which operated the twin exhaust cutouts from the driver's seat.....True?

Answer.....FALSE!...The Granatellis had a manual control rigged into this Avanti's console which allowed the automatic transmissions shift points to be adjusted by the driver!

But referring to the exhaust cutouts.... Raymond Loewy had two handles on the console of the 1963 Avanti he kept at his Palm Springs home. Pull out on each cable, and his exhaust would switch to open exhausts, bypassing his mufflers.
