About the Studebaker Avanti Red Solido 1:18

TL;DR: Solido's 1:18 diecast Studebaker Avanti in red reproduces Raymond Loewy's fibreglass-bodied grand tourer from 1963, a shape that shared nothing with contemporary American design norms. Its distinctive coke-bottle profile makes it an easy standout on any classic car shelf.

Most 1963 American cars followed familiar Detroit conventions, and the Avanti simply ignored them, which is exactly what makes it worth a diecast collector's attention today.

Solido's Handling of a Genuinely Radical Shape

The Avanti's wedge-fronted, grille-less nose and sculpted flanks were unlike anything else Studebaker or its American rivals were building at the time, and Solido's diecast keeps that radical profile intact rather than softening it toward something more conventional. Red paintwork suits the Avanti's confident, almost aircraft-inspired styling, and the model holds the distinctive coke-bottle waistline and low, sporty roofline with genuine accuracy. Solido's long history with classic vehicle replicas shows here in how naturally the unconventional proportions are handled, rather than treated as an awkward shape to work around.

Raymond Loewy's Grand Tourer for a Struggling Studebaker

Studebaker commissioned the celebrated industrial designer Raymond Loewy to create the Avanti as a dramatic statement during a difficult period for the company, hoping bold design could revive interest where conventional models had failed. The resulting fibreglass-bodied grand tourer became one of the most visually daring American cars of its era, even as Studebaker's broader fortunes continued to decline. For a collector interested in design history rather than sales success, the Avanti represents a genuinely bold creative gamble, and this red Solido replica captures that ambition faithfully.
