MORE THAN 5000 OF THE NEW
CARS ALREADY IN HANDS OF
STUDEBAKER DEALERS.

ture Of a double triumph for The Stu
baker Corporation. Fnr not only has
this giant organization maintained
Studebaker quality in its latest pro-
duct, while %etfecting II added refine
ments and in several instances reduc-
ing prices; it is further startling the
public by announcing that shipments
Of the new cars have been going for
ward for the past two weeks, so that
more than 5000 dealers already are
able to show the Series II models.
The basic design of the series II
cars shows no radical changes. The
mechanical principles that have prov
ed successful are retained intact.
The new efinements have been in
the direction Of securing greater room
mess and comfort, along with still
further c~onveniences. In spite of these
added features, however, the new ser
les II four-cylinder seven passenger
touring car now sells for $845. The
three passenger roadster is priced at
1925. The six-cylinder seven passen-
ger touring car is priced ct $1050, and
the three passenger roadster at $1025.
A notable addition to the Studebak-
er line is the six-cylinder sever pas
senger sedan model, the price of which
is $1675.
Other new series II six-cylinder
models are the three-passenger Ian
dau-roadster at $3.50; four passenger
coupe at $1,000, and seven-pa.senger
limousine at S25o0. The four-cylin-
der models include the three-passen-
ger landau roadster in addition to the
touring car and roadster types.
One of the most striking refine
ments in the series II cars is the d.
viaed front seat effect. The front
seas are of the individual type of con-
struction and are adjustable fore and
aft.
The brake and clutch pedals have
been heightened in order to provide
greater leverage and a consequent
ease in control. This pedal adjust
ment, supplemented by the front seat
adjustment, provides for drivers of
varying sizes, and is a convenience ap-
preciated by motorists.
Another contribution to ease in driv-
ing is the removal of the cowl board
forward and upward, thus gaining
more leg room, and the more compact
grouping Of instruments upon the
cowl. Tha arrangement is unique.
Illumination of the instruments is Sc
cured by a new indirect lighting sys-
tenn.

the cowl to the rear Of the car and in
stalling the Stewart vacuum feed sys-

Studebaker models notable for power
and efficiency are retained in the new
series IL cars. The motor has a 3 71$
