On July 11, [Bob Johnson's] 1964 Studebaker Avanti took first place in the Avanti Owners of America Grand National Show in Gettysburg, Pa., and on Sept. 11, his Shelby GT 500 KR (King of the Road) took first place at the Mustang Club of America Grand National Show in Waldorf, Md. Johnson said he decided to enter the competitions because they were close to his Kingsville home, and he always drives his cars to shows.

Johnson's 1964 Studebaker Avanti was a particularly valuable addition to his collection.

"Amazingly, the sleek gold Avanti had its original carpet and upholstery. The engine compartment was pristine, with its 289 cubic inch engine and Paxton Supercharger," the article stated.
