 One of the interesting cars that spent the weekend with us last month
for the New England Concours was this 2003 Avanti II, which owner Jack
Thibodeau drove up from Maryland.
The car represents the last generation of Avantis produced by John
Seaton and M.E Kelly. Kelly had previously been the owner of Avanti from
1986 to 1988 with R.J. Cafaro when it was located in South Bend,
Indiana, but he was bought out in late 1988. Cafaro changed the company
name to New Avanti Motor Company and moved production to Youngstown,
Ohio, where the 1989 models were built. When Seaton and Kelly bought
NAMC in 2002, production was again moved, initially to Villa Rica,
Georgia, then eventually to Cancun, Mexico.
