Does even Dick Quinn have one of these?

'Went to The Indiana State Fair Monday, August 9. Wife and I always take in the Home & Family Arts Building and look at the antiques entered for judging. Picture-taking is not allowed and the tag with the consignor's name is folded up and stapled so visitors cannot see who owns a given antique being displayed, for obvious and appropriate security reasons.

Getting Honorable Mention in the Advertising Specialties Division was a Studebaker Automobile promotional item I had never seen, a small Johnson & Johnson, glove-compartment-size, First Aid Kit in a white plastic box with a hinged cover.

Printed on the First Aid Kit cover was the later block Studebaker logo and advertising copy for Studebaker automobile radios..."High Fidelity, Instant-On Transistor-Powered, AM and AM-FM." The first-aid kit box was white plastic; the advertising printing was done in two colors; red and blue.

Obviously, this was a 1964-1966 item, since it references AM-FM Studebaker automobile radios.

Dick Quinn alert: Do you have one? (Or perhaps I should say, "how many do you have?") <GGG> BP

This is an item that the SNM has/had labelled as 1958 and I told them that it was for 1963-1964. So, yes, I have seen this item.

[Cowtown Commander]

Dick is bound to have one. I have one or two that I got from Carl Thompson as I recall, so bet Dick has one also as he and Carl were friends.

I think I got mine at the Dealer/Salesman Avanti sneak preview at the Burbank Airport. If not, it was the new 1964 model Dealer showing poolside at a Hotel in, I think Beverly Hills. Definitely one or the other.

Can't be too rare, BP. Even I have one!

One of thes first aid kits was sold on Ebay just a few weeks ago. Strangely enough, I dont have one in my collection

I've got one I picked up at York many years ago, it resides in the glove compartment of my '64 Avanti (yes, it has an original AM/FM radio, also bought at York...for 200 bucks!) Russ Farris

Not sure how many Bob but at least three. One should have a kit for each of his Studebakers so I am 4 short. However there a lot of boxes arond here that have not been opened since I moved in 1988 so maybe there are more!

[Bill Pressler]

I have one, rec'd from friend and former dealer Ed Filer--unfortunately, there's nothing in it!

[BobPalma]

Obviously, these must be like Tucker radios; they made a whole lot more of them than there were cars in which they might eventually be used!

Thanks for the enlightenment, all. <GGG> BP

So far that's only six and an empty box, Bob! '64 was a bad year, but not that bad...<GGG>

Just to increase the count: I have a couple, still unopened and wrapped in plastic.

[studeski]

Yup, I got one too.

[4961Studebaker]

Those look like a good idea.

Maybe one (I) should add one to the garage Just in case

I've had mine for years. A fairly common item at Stude Swap Meets in the 70's. Ah yes, the 70's :-)
