murph the surf Posted Monday at 03:30 AM Report Posted Monday at 03:30 AM In ads for the Studebaker Avanti, Studebaker touted their windshield wipers as "variable speed electric windshield wipers, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ type". What is the missing word in the advertising description??

mfg Posted Tuesday at 02:26 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 02:26 PM Actually, in the 1963 full line catalog, Studebaker mentioned their new Avanti had two speed electric windshield wipers.. and let it go at that!

murph the surf Posted Tuesday at 10:51 PM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 10:51 PM Yes, an unusual description, but during the initial introduction of the Avanti, the windshield wipers were described as "variable speed electric windshield wipers, lullaby type" at 8:53-9:01.....

Your question mentions an ad.. not the spoken word… so I thought the answer might be found in period Studebaker literature…. This totally confused regalbob too!

Sorry, I guess regalbob and I simply misinterpreted the word ‘ad’…. I agree with your conclusion!

I agree with your conclusion! Have to admit, might be pretty dangerous driving a car with "lullabye" wipers,especially after driving for 10-12 straight hours.....
