mfg Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 During the SEARS-STUDEBAKER transcontinental record run, the only way the Avanti's occupants could quickly contact New York, South Bend, or Paxton Products in California was via the public telephone......True?
plwindish Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) True, that was years before the "brick" phones and I don't believe they had their ears on with CB's (also a little early for that popular craze.) They most likely had chase vehicles with them though. Edited October 6, 2015 by plwindish
mfg Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Posted October 6, 2015 Sensible answer from plwindish.....Anyone else have any thought here?
mfg Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Thie cross-country Avanti was equipped with a radio-telephone for 'instant' communicaton. The 'crew' was thus able to communicate with South Bend, the chase car, and radio and newspaper reporters. Edited December 16, 2019 by mfg
