So I was just watching one of my favorite movies, "The Right Stuff", for about the tenth time and noticed at the begining just before Yeager takes off on his flight to break the sound barrier there is a panning shot where you see a '50 Stude Starlight parked on the tarmac. The date of the historic flight was Oct. 14, 1947. I'm really surprised they let that one slip. Of course it was a top secret air strip, maybe that's where Studebaker was testing the new design.
