True. Since the car had no name at that point, it was a contraction of "Project X" or "X-car" and Sherwood Egbert.
Perfect answer. X + Egbert's initials
-
True or False........The Avanti was at one point in the design process called the X-SHE.
-
Was the base price of the 1983 Avanti over or under $25,000?
-
Referring to the design of the 1963 Avanti, who wrote, “I prefer no grille, only a scoop underneath.”?
-
Fifty cents.
No.

Not a helicopter, elevated tram, or an observation deck, but you're thinking in the right direction.

Let's try a bus (Greyhound Scenicruiser), a ferry, a locomotive (GG-1), a car (several makes and models), aircraft, possibly taxicabs and who knows what else.
Olivia DeHavilland is Joan Fontaine's sister.
Nice job! You got five of the six - car, plane, train, boat, and bus. Anyone want to take a shot at the sixth Loewy influenced mode of transportation that would offer a view of New York City?
-
Well it wasn't the Concorde which was about 25 years after Loewy. I think he was best known for household appliance design so the answer here would be enlightening.
The sleek silverware used on the Concorde was a Loewy contribution.
To answer this question, think general modes of transportation, not necessarily specific brands. For instance, "car" could be a general mode and "Avanti" could be the specific vehicle within that mode.
Now, what are the other five modes?
-
Two bits. Maybe free.
Not free or 25 cents, but seemingly inexpensive by today's prices. Any other guesses?
-
You've given the best answer.

The washers were the fix listed in a service letter.

I'd say a lot as all 1990 cars were 4-doors.
Not according to the 1990 Press Kit which includes the four door, the two door coupe, and the convertible. There are other sources who say all three models existed in the 1990 model year, even though only the four doors seem to have left the factory.
-
Could be, but there was a factory recommended "fix" for existing loose stems Any idea what that was?
-
In 1963, what was the cost of a bottle of Avanti Turquoise touch up paint at your local dealer's Parts Department?
-
Credit for the name “Avanti” goes to what person or group?
-
What was the factory recommended fix for a loose inside rear view mirror?
-
New York City could be viewed from at least six different modes of transportation that incorporated Loewy design elements. Name the modes of transportation.
-
How much more than the 1990 2 door coupe did the 1990 4 door touring sedan weigh?
-
Sorry Dennis. We got a new supply of DVDs in stock and I updated the website to make the item for sale.
Thanks, Lew.

How soon do you need to know?
Well, Eddy, what don't you understand about the word "today" as used in my request for more information. Your boorishness is wearing a little thin with quite a few readers who visit this forum for enjoyment, not to be mocked or challenged by you. I've asked you off forum to talk to me about why you rudely respond to me as you do, but you refuse to answer.
Here's my trivia question. What's your point?
-
Loewy was standing beside his silver Avanti, a 1972 model, with both in front of an Air France Concorde jet. The photo is on the front side of the "Looking Back to the Future" DVD that the AOAI is selling through Avanti Magazine and the AOAI website.
When I checked the web site, it says the "Looking Back ToThe Future" DVD is NOT available. Status?

Lots of good points made in the posts above.
Same few people responding
No need to "rain" trivia, a question or two a day is fine
Timely answers or verification of an answer
Others should offer their trivia questions
Reference source for answer
Perhaps if one answers a question correctly, he/she is a knowledgable Avanti owner and should post a question. That would bring a little a little variety and widen the scope rather than having most of the trivia coming from one source. Although it's been said that the trivia has increased interest in the site in general, I haven't noticed any big changes in the amount of message input in the other sub forums. For the most part, the trivia questions don't tend to spark much conversation. A few have, but most haven't.

I'll let you know in two weeks.
Eddy, I know you enjoy being a control freak with Dapy, but would you let me know today?
-
I'd like to see answers referenced with a source. Facts in isolation can be fun, but facts that lead to more information create knowledge. As for unanswered questions, the originator should either answer them after a reasonable tine, say a week, or move on. Bumping them back to the top of the list is wasted effort.

Perfect answer. While a dollar may seem inexpensive today, in 1963 Federal Minimum Wage was $1.25 an hour. Factoring in inflation over the last 50 years, $1 in 1963 is equivalent to $9.69 in 2014.
