ODAY Studebaker proves that beautiful, distinctive, stylish body lines can be origi- nated by American body designers without following precedent or imitating or adapting what has been done before. ; Today Studebaker proves that a practical and beautiful type of car can be made to combine the pleasure and performance of the open car and the ind protection of the closed car—and this t excessive price or compromised quality —a plex” in smartness and convenience elegance and comfort—and at a price han that ot 2n open car! debakcr proves, in its new Standard Six a six-cylinder car of fine quality, ty of room and impressive appear- Bde and meorketed at a price of $1145. tudebaker proves in its new Special Six Six Duplex models that the ultimate in sential features of quality in five- and seven- ger cars can be made and marketed at a price Of $1495 and $1375 respectively. ‘And this is possible only because Studebaker cars are made in one of the most comprehensive indus- trial plants in this country, 70 per cent of which is new within the last six years. Every modern method of manufacture and long experienced management are available for the pro- duction of Studebaker automobiles. Today Studebaker proves that the highest grade closed car bodies—framed in selected hard woods, cushioned with the best cushion work, upholstered in fine mohair fabrics and fitted with expensive ap- pointments—can be made and marketed on super- latively good chassis at moderate prices. This 1s made possible by the new $10,000,000 Studebaker closed body plants. Studebaker designs and builds all of its closed bodies in one of the best equipped and most modern body plants in the in- dustry.

New values, never before equaled—even by Studebaker! original in beautiful lines—individual, conservative, impressively elegant, but crisp enough in its de- parture from imitation to be entirely distinctive. The Five New Duplex Bodies (A new type of car originated by Studebaker to take the place of the open car) SO ENTIRELY NEW and so different from any other body ever made before that a new name had to be created—the DUPLEX, The upper structure is shaped in pressed steel and covered with the finest water-proof fabric. The steel construction permits the use of another radical Studebaker creation, the new roller enclosing cur- tains. There is the permanent beauty and durability of the steel top plus the instant convenience of the roller curtains. Thus Studebaker engineers have solved the open- closed car problem. The buyer who wants the airiness and practical convenience of the cpen car and who also wants the comfort, protection and beauty of the closed car can now get both in one car and at the price of an open car. One moment the new Studebaker Duplex is a beautiful open car—a touch of the hand to the over- lapping roller curtains and it is a snug weather-tight closed car. Balloon Tires Genuine and full size balloon tires on all models. Every part that functions with the tires has been specially designed for balloon tire equipment—steer- ing gear, steering knuckles, spindles and springs, even the fenders. ; SASS NSS NS NS SSS SL SS ASS SSA POO OU SPECIAL SIX 120 in.

It acts 6n the propeller shaft. There is uniform pressure at each wheel—equalized through the rear axle. The regular two-wheel Studebaker brakes with their simplicity, safety and great braking power are entirely adequate. But Studebaker 4-Wheel Hydraulic Brakes (with disc wheels) can be furnished as optional equipment on all models at extra charge if desired. Studebaker 4-Wheel Brakes have three exclusive features not found on any other system in this country. 1. Braking pressure is furnished by hydraulic power automatically developed. A light touch to the braking pedal controls its great force like a touch to the throttle controls the power of the engine. This feature will appeal instantly to women. 2. The front wheels cannot lock. 3. There are only two adjustments required—one at each rear wheel. The front brakes are permanently adjusted at the factory. The oil in the transmission is used to generate the hydraulic power; the action of the gears and the pump keep it in circulation: it cannot congeal or freeze. Braking power is always instantly ready—in winter as well as in summer! New Ease of Operation New Ease of Gear Shifting—New power in braking, a touch to the pedal exerts a giant’s strength at the rear wheels -—New clutch action, soft as velvet—A new steering gear and steering knuckles designed for balloon tires—A new grouping on the dash, including ALL the usual instruments plus a gasoline gauge that always works accurately. Lighting Control Switches —all on the steering wheel instantly handy. Automatic Spark Control—No manual attention required, so the lever is eliminated. Automatically governed to all speeds with the precision of machinery. And the Details The new cars are longer and lower to the ground. The line from the radiator to the rear is nearly straight. The wheelbase of all models is increased. The fenders are much wider and deeper crowned to cover the width of the tires. They fit more closely over the wheels. The rear fenders are long and gracefully curved into the running boards. The radiators are high and set low in the frames and con- vex curved just below the filler cap. The design is strikingly original and beautifully distinctive. Entirely new head lamps and cowl parking lamps designed by Studebaker—artistically appropriate and in perfect keep- ing with the originality of the body and fender design. Deeper, stiffer frames, more cross members; shorter, flatter springs for balloon tires. All bodies lower, all roomier, better and more comfortably cushioned. Seats are lower, backs and sides are higher. Look Forward Into Next Year The new Studebaker is here today!
