psdenno Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Just about all written references to the design of the Avanti contain a sentence along the lines of, "Loewy sequestered his highly talented team in a rented desert ranch house near Palm Springs, California.". The house still stands and, from the outside, looks much like it did when the design team used it over 50 years ago. What's the four digit number on the mailbox of the "Avanti Design House"? Dennis
psdenno Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Posted December 30, 2014 Nope. That would be Loewy's address in a much nicer part of town. Dennis
lschuc Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 The number would be "2788" As in the home's address: 2788 East Via Escuela in the northeast section of Palm Springs.
psdenno Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Posted December 31, 2014 Lew, I thought you would be the one to know the answer. Perfect answer. Nothing has changed with the house in many years. It looks shabby and the yard has been left to take care of itself. Dennis.
