Gruen Authority

I’ll see your Speculation and raise you one Wild Theory (to be expected from me, I know Razz

)

I believe the answer for mothballing the 117-123 coincided in time with Emile Frey’s patent of 1929 and is explained in a word: Curvex!

I believe the Curvex launch was planned but delayed after the stock crash, treading water until the economy improved enough. That explains the trickling 117-123 remnants—no one expected the depression to be as deep or long lasting as it actually turned out. The techniquadron was there and got breathing room, but I expect Gruen had its sights set on Curvex.

As for naming 325, with 311 waiting in the wings, good things only came in “3”s!

How’s that for revisionist history? Laughing

My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more
