Avanti83 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 My 83 has one but I think the anniversary models did not. True, none there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 My 83 has one but I think the anniversary models did not. True, none there. Actually, the answer to this question would be FALSE...elimination of the access door happened post 20th Anniversary cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennie B. Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 The bigger question to me is, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunslinger Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I wonder how one is supposed to get into the trunk should the release cable break or the power release fails with the access panel eliminated. Advertising for the convenience of trunk access aside, the real reason for the panel was to provide a way of opening the trunk should the release not work. Did Avanti Motors provide a backup way to release the trunk after the access panel was done away with? That might be a trivia question to ask.

I know of one beautiful '89 Avanti coupe that has a second (backup) trunk release under the rear bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
