I had thought that some of the Avantis came with Paxton blowers....don't recall if they were Avanti I or II, or maybe that was just another of my dreams, or altered memories....

Before the muscle cars, I had a thing for those huge Nash cars (before they became nash ramblers..) with a flat six and a bore of about 6 inches or so. They got raced a lot in the old days.
I also liked Kaisers, my dad had a Henry J, but not for performance, but for innovation. The Henry J was a fastback with a fold down rear seat, so you could lay a 4' X 8' sheet of plywood in, and close the hatch. The Kaiser Darin was really my all time favorite as the doors in the glass bodied dream car slid into the long front fenders.

Fortunately, later on, I came to my senses and got involved with Fords, Chevys, and Mopars.... Or maybe that was just because by the 60's the studebakers, and Nashs, and Kaisers all went by the wayside and I had no underdog to root for anymore.
