Correct!!!

What was the terminology used by the Studebaker Corporation to refer to the Roll Bar incorporated into their new Avanti?
-
If all four were there,that was indeed an historic reunion-would have loved to been able to attend that event!

I'll call that false,as I'm pretty sure there was only one prototype Ibuilt in 1965..Also pretty sure that feature was actually continued for a few years when regular production started in 1966.

Hint: The product was "of it's time",but he showed "Avanti" thinking by his timing in becoming involved with this product when he did.
-
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)

True or False:
One of the names under consideration for Studebaker's Model X sports car that ultimately was called Avanti was "Splendida".

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?
