I have in my possession the billing forms for cars sold through C-D Motors, Inc., the Studebaker dealer in Trenton, NJ, from late 1963 through early 1966. I picked up this mass of paperwork at York this past March. I have not had time to go through the seven folders of paperwork. I picked up one of the folders last night while cleaning my room, thumbed through the papers and discovered an unusual 1966 Studebaker.
This billing document is on letterhead from the STUDEBAKER AUTOMOTIVE SALES CORPORATION, South Bend, Indiana. It is dated 09-02-65, to the dealer in the Philadelphia Zone. Invoice #50570. The vehicle was shipped to Bridgeboro, NJ and was paid for by the Princeston Bank & Trust Co.

Obviously, this beauty was prepared by the factory as an introductory
show car for 1966, ie. the quart of paint and tag lines. I see no proof this car was on the floor at the Philadelphia Car Show. I have to assume it was, but apparently it did not make it to the Dallas Show as there is a notation dated 09-18-65 that the car was sold to Ellis Cooper. No other information is available. An interesting car sold from the Philadelphia Show floor. I wonder if it still exists?
I just wanted to share this little tidbit with you. Peace, Frank
PS- The figures problably will not line up as I typed them, but its understandable.
