Avanti Drivers!

In 1963, the Studebaker/Granatelli  Bonneville & cross country test drivers Barbara Neiland and Paula Murphy both lived in............?

1) California.......2) New York........3) Missouri.....or.....4) Nevada

About that time, I saw Paula Murphy at the New York Auto Show (of course that doesn't mean she lived there) plus the run was from east to west.  Based on these facts, I will guess 2) New York..

Sorry, New York is incorrect.

I think it was California.

BTW, here is a pic of Paula in an Avanti:

California is CORRECT!....By the way, I like the detail in this great black & white photo!...Appears that Paula may have utilized one of those J.C. Whitney backrests to aid in covering all those miles!
