This is a one-off 1951 Studebaker Manta Ray concept car designed by Glenn Hire and Vernon Antoine.Design Inspiration: The car was created by two aviation professionals and features styling heavily influenced by jet aircraft.Body Construction: Its distinctive body was handcrafted using 14 sections of fiberglass molds, rather than traditional metal.Tail Lights: The unique triple tail lights on the rear were sourced from a 1952 Lincoln.Unique Features: The vehicle is exceptionally low, measuring just 40 inches in height, and was built upon a shortened 1951 Studebaker Commander chassis.
 
I thought the tail lights were old Lincoln but whats up with the rear bumper? Right side is way different than the left!
Certainly different. My guess is it a styling thing. Appears to be slots cut into the bumper which obviously would weaken it . Odd .
 
Studebaker Avanti. My neighbour next door had one when I was a kid.
A guy in town here had a few of them over the years. A real fan , did restorations on them as he came across parts which apparently was a problem. Pretty cool cars actually.
