2 days: Spend the day at Volente Beach on Lake Travis (RM 2222 and Volente Road), where you'll have everything you need for a day on the water. Lake Travis and Lake Austin are the most popular for boating and fun in the sun, so get off the beaten path and explore the lakes in the Hill Country, including Lake Buchanan. 2 days: Water activities and Austin just go together, so pick a lake and spend some time exploring. It's popular for good reason so, since a visit to Austin just isn't complete without a stop at Lake Travis, go to the best-kept secret on the water: Krause Springs, located about 34 miles west of Austin. Lake Buchanan is more than 23,000 acres and is the largest of the Highland Lakes. As early as 1938, he secretly gathered a small team of colleagues to develop yet another, even more sensational new Isotta Fraschini. In July 1943 -- only days before the Allied invasion of Sicily, which marked the beginning of the end of the regime of terror in Italy -- the work done by Rapi and his colleagues was briefly jeopardized.
Assembly of the prototypes was complicated by a shortage of available materials after 1945. Rapi and his colleagues drove hundreds of miles with a bare chassis made roadworthy with the addition of simple fenders and a windscreen. And because Newman and Altman had conceived their Avanti as more exclusive than Studebaker's, they could build it carefully and largely by hand on a small assembly line. By that time, Leo Newman and Nathan Altman had resurrected the Avanti, Studebaker's most interesting car of the '60s. At the same time, in a little studio at the plant's original site, special plans were being drawn up that had no resemblance to weaponry. Rapi outwitted them by explaining away the drawings as plans for military speedboats. For his car, Rapi chose a rigid platform construction with the chassis welded to an internal body frame. But his obsession with perfection and luxury (he often demanded that even the slightest blemishes be completely reworked in order to obtain a flawless car body) indicated his apparent misapprehension of the times. This particular design, which withstood extensive stability checks at the Caproni aircraft factory, was intended to serve as a model for various body designs like those of the most luxurious full-chassis European cars produced prior to the war.
The firm produced numerous highly regarded models prior to World War I, including some internationally famed racers. The scars of world war were still fresh across Europe in the lean year of 1947, both on the landscape and throughout societies seeking to reorganize themselves after horrible years of devastation. The 1947-1948 Isotta Fraschini 8C Monterosa provided a last glimpse at glory from what had been one of the world's top automakers before the market for its luxurious products dried up in the early 1930s. Then, in the wake of World War II, came dreams of a revival. However, by 1947, Isotta Fraschini was a name nearly forgotten after 13 years of inactivity as a luxury carmaker (though the manufacture of trucks and engines for boats and aircraft sustained it through the 1930s and 1940s). The development of the revolutionary new luxury car in the works was inseparably linked with the name of an extraordinary engineer: Fabio Rapi. Studebaker fled to Canada in late 1963. Left the auto business three years later. Having made their initial foray into the automobile business as importers of French cars, Cesare Isotta and Vincenzo Fraschini next formed a company that would lead, in 1902, to the production of the first car to bear their names.
Near the end of 1969, automakers found themselves running into a barrage of new federal safety standards, the impact of which on the way they did business was uncertain. Once you've decided that a traditional proposal is the way to go, start by talking to your girlfriend's father. If you're going to remodel, why not go all the way? The first completely new design announced after the war, the Tipo 8 of 1919, launched a new single-model policy. Touring had thus conjoined this new, American-led postwar design ethic with Rapi's innovations. He had set high standards for this automobile, whose ongoing secret design meant that it was ready for production immediately following the war. When you're ready to listen to the latest up-and-coming music performers, grab a seat at Antone's Nightclub (2123 W Fifth St). Cross over to 6th Street and from there the sky's the limit: try the ultra-cool Molotov Lounge (719 West Sixth) with its actual ice bar and premium vodkas, or grab a beer at Shakespeare's Pub (314 East Sixth). Try a pint of Independence Brewery's Pale Ale or Bootlegger Brown Ale, both great local brews, while you're there.
