Q-Ball ◊ 2007-06-17 15:35	Oh yeah, the avanti II had square lights

In this vision of the future, all the cars have been converted to electric power. They hum smoothly and silently along, and you plug them in at the end of the day.
Commander 57 ◊ 2010-02-09 17:39	A quick note for accuracy. The first few (about 50) 1964 Avanti's had the round headlamp bezels like the '63's.
Billywiz ◊ 2010-09-02 07:06	The maker lights have amber lenses. Highly likely it is a '64. The '63 were clear with amber bulbs. The rear view mirror is on the windshield vs dash too.
Commander 57 ◊ 2011-04-05 17:38	Similar to a comment I recently place on another Avanti page, this business about parking lamp lenses and rearview mirrors does not match what I have in my literature and I would be curious to know where it came from.
