Possibly Atlanta to be near his daughter and grandson?
No, but you're getting geographically closer.
-
Hint: It had to do with his Avanti and a space suit.
-
That's true. There was a service letter with instructions and costs on installing drip moldings.
The retail cost of the drip molding kit for earlier cars was a whopping $7.00 + labor.

How many different pigment colors are used to get the color “Avanti Maroon”?
-
If you wanted seat belts on your 1964 Avanti, you had a choice of colors. What color belt was available only as an option for the front seats, but not the back according to factory price information?

Right you are on the insider knowledge. Sorry, I should have disqualified myself. But, it was too easy to let go by.

The design house on Via Esquela.

New York city
Charlie RQB3921
No. Not near the end.

I do. He was a 40 year old truck driver who brought police charges against Egbert for disorderly conduct over a union picket line incident in which Egbert offered to duke it out with him. Egbert was arrested and released on bond.

Suggested Uninstalled List Price $11.85
Uninstalled Dealer Net Price $9.00
We seem to have the same source of price information. You are correct.
-
I must have a different source...I have it shown as a factory option but not listed with dealer installed options for '63 or '64. That wouldn't be the first time I get burned by what is supposed to be accurate sources.
Just another one of those 50 year old mysteries. I'll post the cost in a few days if no one else sends a guess.

I know Loewy had a hand in the interior design for Skylab, but what did Skylab have to do with New York as the original question asked?
The original question asked for Loewy influenced modes of transportation from which NYC could be viewed.
I'm guessing that the astronauts in Skylab (a mode of transportation) had a most spectacular view of New York (the city in question) from 275 miles above Earth on at least some of the 34,981 orbits around the planet.

Hill Holder was a factory option that sold for $15.50. It wasn't listed as a dealer installed option.
Not according to my source.
The source document I'm looking at lists the "uninstalled" dealer price as well as the "uninstalled" suggested list price for the Avanti Hill Holder AC-3348. That makes it sound like a dealer installed or DIY item stocked or ordered by the Dealer's Parts Department. The same accessory # applies to the '63 & '64 Convertible and Station Wagon according to the Studebaker document.

You got it!
How's your weather today? Only going to be in the 80s here today

What was the serial # of the first production Avanti with roof drip moldings?
-
What was the cost of the Dealer installed Hill holder option for 1964 Avantis with a 3 speed or 4 speed manual transmission (parts only)?
-
Time's almost up for this trivia question. The location of one of his two last homes has been correctly listed as Monte Carlo, Monaco. Any guesses as to the city of his other home? (Hint: In the USA)
-
This question has been open for a week without listing the final mode of transportation that sported a Loewy design element. While several correct answers were added to the list, the missing mode is out of this world.
Skylab

And Loewy's inspiration was a Piece Arrow script.
Craig
I think if you Google the Hupmobile logo as used on the hood ornament Loewy designed about 30 years before the Avanti logo you'll see an identical element in the two designs - quite different from the Pierce Arrow "arrow".
-
Perforated it is.
-
Live and learn. I didn't know Loewy did subway cars. So add yet another mode of transportation.
I suppose the IH Metro could be another mode. But, there's still one more we haven't listed. Any more ideas?
-
So far, forum members have come up with five of the six modes of Loewy inspired transportation that a traveler could use to see New York City.
We have:
Car,
Boat
Train
Bus
Airplane
Anyone care to take a shot at the remaining mode of transportation that Loewy had a hand in designing before we close this question?
-
Lowey was a PR expert and knew how to get the attention he, or his projects, needed. What promotional stunt did he stage with his Avanti to prove a point with NASA?

How can you tell if your Studebaker Avanti has the Deluxe upholstery option?
