It’s good to see that you are now posting the entire document when you quote a source… as opposed to just posting a few lines, or simply one page as you’ve done in the past. I credit myself for this improvement in your communication skills… Be well!

Well, I’m completely satisfied with Stacey’s answer… SUGGESTION….do a bit more research concerning your ‘survey’s’ findings, and get back to me as soon as possible!

So, you think Stacey is wrong?

Why would I do that? This trivia question has been answered correctly by Stacey… General Motors!

regalbob… You have now posted it under my “Avanti’s Second” trivia question…A question concerned with a different survey. SUGGESTION…. Start another trivia question related to the ‘survey’ which you have information on!

Postscript… The survey referred to in this trivia question was sent to a few thousand Studebaker Avanti (new car) purchasers in mid-March 1966… This questionnaire was sent by William H. Gottlieb, of the New York City Morrison-Gottlieb public relations firm.

You ‘NAILED’ it!!

The survey which Regalbob posted is not the 1966 Morrison-Gottlieb survey this trivia question was based on…. Regslbob should post more details concerning his ‘survey’.

Wrong survey.

You are correct about that! That survey indicated that over half of respondents bought Studebaker Avantis because of advanced styling!

Thoughts?

Yep.. you are correct!……. (81% of respondents owned a 2nd vehicle…..of those 33% owned a GM)

Ha ha good one!… but not the answer!!

Sorry, not $385!

Good thought, but not $492!

Purchasers of ‘64 Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawks, who desired the car be equipped with the R2 High Performance Package, should have expected to pony up an additional…….(approx) 1) $385…..2) $492…..3) $582…. or……$629

In the 1966 survey mentioned in the prior post, purchasers of new Studebaker Avantis whom had a ‘2nd’ vehicle owned a …..?…… 1) Studebaker…..2) Ford……3) GM…..or…..4) Foreign make

In the Morrison-Gottlieb survey which was sent to buyers of new Studebaker Avantis, over half of the respondents indicated they purchased the car because of Studebaker’s strong high performance image…..True?

Check that…. The diameter of rear sway bar on the ‘85’s is larger…. I believe you need their part number 1702280. Front bar larger also

With the Avantis huge rear window, tinting it makes good sense for some sun/heat deflection!

The problem with surveys is that it’s difficult, if not impossible, to get 100% participation.

The survey actually indicated 1.75%… I decided to round it off!!

Sorry no Geoff…..See above.

Looks REALLY good!

Yes, 1962 saw the fewest Studebaker Avanti ‘new car’ sales! Breakdown….. 48% of new Avantis sold in ‘63 44% of new Avantis sold in ‘64 6% of new Avantis sold in ‘65 2% of new Avantis sold in ‘62 The above percentages were taken from a survey sent to purchasers of new Studebaker Avantis in 1966, by the firm of Morrison-Gottlieb. Although the response to this survey was “ Excellent “, not every buyer of a new Avanti responded to it… hence… the above percentages aren’t written in stone!
