The Avanti Owners Association International, Inc. is a non-profit organization committed to preserving the history of the Avanti automobile. Our group strives to promote the research and study of the Avanti and the companies that have produced it over the years. We wish to share our knowledge with others and encourage the acquisition, preservation, restoration, and maintenance of all Avantis produced by Studebaker and successor companies. |
Although represented in several countries, the AOAI is incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois as a nonstock, nonprofit, social, recreational, and educational organization. The association is supported exclusively by membership dues and no portion of its income is derived from public funds. |
