mfg Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Over two hundred Studebaker employees made a trip to Indy in 1962 to witness the '500', and view the event's 'honorary pace car' AVANTI!......Who sponsored this trip?
mfg Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Posted October 4, 2015 No one here went on this trip to Indy with the Studebaker folks?
r1lark Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 I'm going to take a real shot in the dark here - was it Molded Fiberglas Company (the manufacturers of the Avanti body)?
mfg Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Posted October 5, 2015 I'm going to take a real shot in the dark here - was it Molded Fiberglas Company (the manufacturers of the Avanti body)? Excellent guess,...but that's not it!............(HINT...A STUDEBAKER-connected organization)
mfg Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Posted October 5, 2015 I'm guessing Paxton Products. Good guess!...but not the right answer!
mfg Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Posted October 5, 2015 My guess is STP. STP makes sense,.....but that's not the correct answer either!
BRitz Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 My guess is Filmways, The producers of the Mr. Ed Show
mfg Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Posted October 6, 2015 My guess is Filmways, The producers of the Mr. Ed Show Another good choice,.....but Filmways is not the correct answer either!.....Anyone else want to give this one a try?
studegary Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 My second guess is the airline owned by Studebaker (T something A).
mfg Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Posted October 7, 2015 My second guess is the airline owned by Studebaker (T something A). I know the airline. BUT CAN'T THINK OF ITS NAME EITHER!!!.....But no Gary, good guess, but not correct.
Gunslinger Posted October 7, 2015 Report Posted October 7, 2015 TIA...Trans International Airlines. Its president was Kirk Kerkorian.
mfg Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Posted October 8, 2015 THE ANSWER IS: ....(drum roll here please)..........THE STUDEBAKER ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION!
