Similar to the Corvette and powered by a V8, what is the name of this car that was both stylish and affordable?

By the late 1950s, Studebaker was hemorrhaging money, and a halo vehicle was regarded as part of the solution to their sales problems. The Avanti was a fiberglass sports car similar to the Corvette, powered by a V8. While the Avanti was stylish and affordable, Studebaker sold less than 2,000 units in its first year. In the next years, sales improved marginally but not nearly enough to save the firm from bankruptcy. As a result, Studebaker ceased production in December 1963, but the Avanti name endured.
