For auction in Los Angeles: designer Raymond Loewy’s personal Studebaker Avanti. One of the most stunningly beautiful cars ever created. If you’re unfamiliar with Loewy, you may know some of what he designed: the Coke bottle, the Greyhound bus, the Shell logo and the Lucky Strike package, among others.
A brown (ok, beige) Avanti? Raymond Loewy knew what was up.
Even if he didn’t like the Citroen DS.
“Published 8 times a year, the Beige Book is prepared by one of the 12 Federal Reserve regional banks. The report is actually fairly readable for a government document, and gives a concise snapshot of our economic picture. It is the government’s version of an economic Cliff Notes. Incidentally, they call it the “Beige Book” because — ready for this? — the cover is beige.”
— Kim Luu
Though the color of the Beige Book’s cover appears to be common knowledge, Beige Blog could find no photographic evidence of the physical document itself anywhere on the Internet. We cannot, therefore, conclusively confirm or deny the actual beigeness of the Beige Book.

“Soon, every new building in America might look like a variation of the above. Tasteless mayonnaise design, cheap materials, sad architectural details (the bare minimum to keep it from looking like a box) … all wrapped up in shades of beige.” — Jesse Walker
