Here's a product of one major GA company, that bears the name of another. What was it called then, and what did it later become?

Well, it definitely looks 40s Piper, so I would imagine it became the Apache.
 
Pilawt said:
Yes. But it wasn't called Apache until it went into production after a major redesign. What was its name in this embryonic state?

Well considering the process it went through and what it became, I'd have to call it "Food" since it came out as sh**.

My guess from your clue is Baby Beech.

Nope. Piper acquired another big-name manufacturer, and this was one of the designs it inherited. The old name stuck through the development process.

I got my multi in 1971 in an old Apache. We [lovingly] called it the Apathy.
