Gunslinger Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Just a guess...Loewy designed locomotives and bus stations...maybe he styled a train station in Switzerland or a locomotive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfg Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Answer.....Raymond Loewy gave Studebaker Avanti #63R-1534 to the president of the Swiss railroad system as a gift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 That answers another question for me...I had read somewhere that Loewy had two Studebaker Avantis. That explains why...he kept one for a personal car and gifted the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
