I think all employees, friends and associates of Studebaker and SASCO (or who live in Indiana) are ineligible... [}] But as I am none of those, I'll make a WAG of $2179.50.[:0][8D]

I call "CHEATING", he did NOT do it from memory! He doesn't get the POOP!

Bob, You should know that cheaters never win! I might add that those who are not good at math also never win! You did not add the other $7.50 for the 2nd front seat belt which would have made it $2187 (using the SASCO Sales Letter you mention). By 10-21-63 the seat belt price had gone up by .50c making the total (and correct answer) $2188.

That was good.[8D]

Ooops....appears I'm a little too late, but my guess was $2,173.45

[}] Boy, Dick, that was pretty risky, wasn't it? I mean, sending out that memo on October 21st, when the show wouldn't air until October 25th! What if some unscrupulous person within Studebaker leaked the information to a contestant on the show?

(Oh, never mind, I forgot: by October 21, 1963, all the unscrupulous people at Studebaker had bailed out and were in Detroit, working for Pontiac, building 421-powered 1964 Pontiac LeMans / GTO package "ringers" for contemporary road test magazines! [:0][8])

And regarding the $7.50 per person seat belt oversight: That will be the last time I answer one of your questions before I've finished my first cup of coffee in the morning![8][}] BP

Cool! So at least 4 cars went across the stage at one time. Lets find them. Wouldn't it be neat to show one with a framed still from the show, with a lovely price is right girl showing it off.

Not possible due to the miracle of (early) videotape.
By 1963, most live TV was a thing of the past.

I wondered about that possibility, John. BP
