MsPerky, there's nothing wrong with loving a car for its looks. I've purchased a share of cars for that reason. 
I did manage to find the home site for Avanti Motors http://www.avantimotors.com/ . Turns out they're now located in Atlanta. Check out their website, it's quite interesting.

Hey - Nice website...that Avanti convertible is looking cool! And it has a 6-speed manual. Did someone mention the price?

Rapier
I don't remember much about them Rapier. i was a kid, but I do know a friend of my Dad kept them in a special bag in his golden hawk and he'd put them on like tire chains....and have tons of traction on the street.
I think they are very illegal now. Maybe one of the more Vintage members remembers more, I only saw them once in Chicago back a long time ago.

I don't remember diamond chains. What are they?

Since we are talking Studebaker Avanti and automotie trivia, what well known automotive personality worked for Studebaker before it went out of business? My first hint: He was directly involved in the R and D on the supercharged Avanti.

This leads to my second question: What was the first car Andy Granatelli personally put a can of STP in?
