I can think of several...Air Force One paint scheme...the Coke bottle...the Exxon logo...the forward ID stripe on Coast Guard vessels...even more most likely.
The Coke bottle is questionable, but the paint scheme on Air Force One puts you in the Winners Circle.

Score another one for you! I'm going to have to go to the über trivia questions in an attempt to stump you.

What’s the recommended fix for the common problem of an Avanti that takes excessive cranking time to start?
-
What often seen (worldwide exposure, TV, movies, print publications) Loewy design continues in regular use today and is virtually unchaged in over 50 years?
-
There were five choices for '63. For '64 models you could have any carpet color and combination you wanted as long as it was black.
Five it is....or was.

Acrylic lacquer paint
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner! Nice job, Lew.
-
Lacquer paint....
Yes, but can you be a little more specific about what kind of lacquer?
-
What’s the technical term for the type of paint originally used on all Avantis?
-
How many carpet color choices for the ’63 Avanti?

Gloyd is the name used in the source I was referencing, too. Just didn't want to annoy the OP, so I went with his spelling. I wonder what he "misappropriated".It wasn't "Gloud" Richards but Gloyd Richards. He was fired for "misappropriating" company equipment.

I'm not sure he was a truck driver unless it was for the company. I think he was a union leader (or agitator) that tried to block Egbert from entering the plant. A scuffle ensued but Egbert played it down as nothing. The guy I believe was later fired for cause by Studebaker.
Most of us have had an Eddie Haskell in their lives...maybe Richards was Egbert's.
Yes, we do all seem to have an Eddie of some sort. The newspaper picture of Egbert being booked by the police included a caption stating Gloud was a truck driver for Studebaker. I'm sure his actions were career limiting.

Gray.
Correct. We must both read the same factory documents. I wonder why they didn't list Gray for rear belts - can't be much difference in front & rear seat belts.
-
Four. Violet, Maroon, Aluminum and Green.
Perfect!

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

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.

What were the three optional tire choices when ordering a ’63 Avanti?
