Bob Andrews Interview

[Dan White]

Some of you may have already read this some time ago. I had bookmarked it and reread it yesterday. Bob passed away in 1991. As Avanti enthusiast know he was a key member of the Avanti design team and did other work for Studebaker over the years. However many may not know that he was also a key member of the Hudson step-down design team! He also gave a similar interview in Automobile Quarterly about he time at Hudson back in '71.

Well I guess I know now why I bookmarked it in the first place.

Interesting mention in this article:

Bob Andrews: Incidentally, on the new Starlight Coupe, one of my assignments was to work up a special interior. I remember it was a very dark blue with a French gray glove leather interior for Richard Rodgers of Rodgers and Hammerstein. He was a good friend of Mr. Loewy's, and I worked that car up for him. As far as we know, he never did drive. I'm sorry that I didn't follow the car up, because it just went out to Long Island . As far as I'm concerned, I don't know whatever happened to it. I would have loved to have had that car.
