mfg Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
