TWO Pop Quizzes, one Studebaker related.

[BobPalma]

OK, guys, here's a two-fer.

Check out this seemingly-innocuous article from the January 2019 Hot Rod: Click to enlarge so you can read it:



Yes, there is a Studebaker connection...and an unrelated goof where the writer got "caught" by spel-chek. So, two questions / two Pop Quizzes / two awards. The first person to post the correct answer to each question (or both of them if you want to take a stab) will be sent an NOS, uncirculated copy of Studebaker's small 1964 brochure, P.D. 64-11:



Question 1: What goof is a result of trusting spel-chek and, as a result, the wrong word being used even though the word itself is spelled correctly in the article?

Question 2: The article contains a reference to an important element of a certain Studebaker's life, a Studebaker that has been repeatedly discussed here on the forum. What is the related reference in this article?

Feel free to answer either question; two small brochures will be awarded. (Note, please: This is being posted on Election Eve, so I won't be able to respond until late Tuesday evening, November 6th, in that I'll be sequestered working the polls all day election day. So don't be discouraged if I don't jump right in and verify an answer. If yours is the first post with either (or both!) the correct answers, you'll win.)
Happy Hunting! BP

The number 1 question is too easy. Thrown, should be throne. I'm confused by question #2, But I'll take a crack at the Whistler that ran at Beeline Dragway in the 60's. I didn't run there until '71, so never saw it before John found and is restoring it.

Alright, you mischievous riddler you, I'm going to take a crack at this in hopes of winning that lovely brochure for the best styled Lark-type (in my opinion).

No. 1: After thoroughly scanning this article, and probably straining myself doing so, I have determined this to be a grammar mistake. Therefore, the word "thrown" instead of "throne" seems very suspicious.

No. 2: It is likely that the famous Studebaker that was referenced is either the "Stude Tomato" or "The Plain Brown Wrapper". Both of these were also Lark-types, so it is fitting that the prize should be related to one as well.

BINGO, Tom; you got 'em both!

Send me a Forum PM here with your current, physical mailing address and I'll send you two Studebaker #P.D. 64-11 brochures.

Congratulations. BP (Yes, I woke up a little early for Polling Place duty, so I could check this before leaving for the day. )
