The exterior is....not my taste, but I really like the interior.

I wish you could still get interiors like that.

The whole thing is cool to me. It’s ugly but I’d happily own one.

Then again I defend Pontiac Aztecs.

The original looks much more sporty and classy though, not gonna lie.

I agree... the original with the round headlight treatment looks much better.

Avanti’s styling always looked a little off to me. The story is that Lowey and a couple of others were locked up in a house in Palm Springs without any outside contact during the design phase. I’m sure plenty of Martoonies were gulped down during that time. For 1962 it was a standout design for certain.

Lowey’s sketches actually help make more sense of the design (for me at least). I can even see where Chryco may have cribbed a few ideas for the 71 B bodies.

I actually prefer the ‘80s version with the square headlights and blacked out trim. It was a tasteful update that made a 20 year old design look totally contemporary.

That’s the cocaine version!
