I entered and won a shifter plus a trophy to boot.
Named it "The Starlight".
Did any of you enter that same contest?

I was 6 years old at the time, so no I didn't enter.
Congrats on your win back then...good name. It must be cool to be a part of automotive history, at least in some small way.
I believe that "Starlight" was also the name of one version of the ultra-cool new body style that Studebaker introduced in 1953. Or maybe Stude used that name before '53, as well...I don't know. I think the Starlight was the two door "pillared coupe" (sedan) and the Starliner was the two door hardtop. Both were beautiful cars. (Of course, Ford also had a Starliner in the early 60's...also beautiful.)
