You're correct in saying it was at the annual shareholders meeting, but what I was actually looking for here was the LOCATION of that meeting!

The Studebaker Avanti was first introduced to the Board of Directors and shareholders at the Indiana Club in South Bend on April 26th,1962.

Attached is a film clip of a Studebaker Annual Shareholders meeting which was held at the Stepan Center at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend that quite probably dates from April 1963,but I'd like to share it nonetheless. The new (1962) Stepan  Center, so seemingly a symbol of Jetsonian Futurism, would certainly have been the perfect venue to have officially introduced the futuristic and gorgeous Studebaker Avanti  to it's shareholders.

The bottom image is that of the Indiana Club.

Too bad the film clip doesn't have audio, still it is quite the glimpse back to the era, thanks.
