Wasn't it some sort of management consulting firm he operated until becoming too ill?
He did have a management consulting firm after Studebaker,but this was a company with a specific product.

After Packard went out of production,what line of car did the Newman and Altman dealership in South Bend take on the franchise for?
-
Sherwood Egbert,after his departure from Studebaker,led yet another company.Can anyone name that company?
-
A name that was initially under consideration for the car that ultimately became known as the Avanti was that of a car produced by a long-defunct automaker-can anyone name the car?

The Studebaker Avanti was first introduced to the Board of Directors and shareholders at the Indiana Club in South Bend on April 26th,1962.
Attached is a film clip of a Studebaker Annual Shareholders meeting which was held at the Stepan Center at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend that quite probably dates from April 1963,but I'd like to share it nonetheless. The new (1962) Stepan Center, so seemingly a symbol of Jetsonian Futurism, would certainly have been the perfect venue to have officially introduced the futuristic and gorgeous Studebaker Avanti to it's shareholders.
The bottom image is that of the Indiana Club.

Bingo!-four door on driver's,two door on passenger's...that was a stumper!

Bob Doehler-I know I just read something that mentioned an Avanti with a drivers-only leather seat somewhere recently,but today's tryptophan is making Avanti trivia difficult for me !
-
Was it that the two door/four doors were considered a 1964 prototype,not a 1965-1966 prototype?
-
It is quite a custom,if this is the car-if so,pretty sure it went to auction a couple years back...
-
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Avanti friends as well!

Striking out today!-but this car had to belong to Raymond Loewy

I'll call that false-pretty sure Brooks Stevens was working on the 65-66,and they weren't the two-door/four-door prototypes.

And hopefully, it will shed some light on the color discrepancy of R4130-as well as being accompanied by an always- enjoyable new issue of the AOAI magazine!

Indeed true,Gunslinger-in fact,that name was eventually used on an assembled Lark prototype that featured a version of the Avanti's Vanity Tray-the Lark Splendida (pictured in front of the Proving Grounds clubhouse)
