mfg Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 Trivia...Studebaker 'Avanti Black' paint was made a special order item because it was never ordered....it simply wasn't selling....True?
Gunslinger Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 It was made special order because of the extra effort involved due to getting a non-ripple appearance in the finish. Ian Fleming's request for black sent the staff into near fits before it was approved.
mfg Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Posted June 15, 2014 I like the Fleming anecdote. Correct, the answer is false...it was made S.O. due to all the extra labor involved to make it look good.
