[DMCForum] Re: Studebaker (Jack Stiefel)

["Walter Coe" <Whalt@xxxxxxx>]

My family used to have a Studebaker.  We sold it to a
collector who supposedly restored it.  If I can find
who/where, I still have the original brochures & sales
receipt which I would like to give to the current owner.

I heard that Avanti had bought out Studebaker.  And Bill,
according to that link you posted, they have the Avanti name
on it too.  Back in the early 1970's, my father got our
family on a tour of the Avanti factory.  I think this was in
Tennessee or not too far from there.  My dad tried to talk
them into making him a special direct factory-to-customer
sale.  They refused to bypass their dealer network, and my
mom was thoroughly embarrassed that my dad wouldn't accept
that.  I did get a cool black T-shirt.  I wore it to school,
and my friends complained that it would look better if it
didn't have that nasty Avanti logo on it. ;-)
